Results for the Mississippi First District special election, filling the seat of Senator Roger Wicker.

51% of Precincts Reporting

Travis W. Childers (D):        54% (25591)
Greg Davis (R):                    46% (21974)

According to Will Bardwell, turnout is high across the district, but it is exceptionally high in Davis' base of DeSoto County, where they have had to order additional ballots. This is a good sign for the Davis campaign.

Update: So far, so good. With just about 8.5% in, Childers is up over a thousand votes. No results in from DeSoto yet, though, so don't get too excited too fast.

Update #2: Replaced the link with a better one.

Update #3: DeSoto is starting to report, and the gap is naturally closing. Prentiss County (Childers' base, where he got 85% last time) hasn't started to come in yet.

Update #4: Childers is doing quite a bit better IN DeSoto County so far, picking up 28%. That may help offset the greater turnout there. He's still up 10 points, with 32% in now, and Prentiss County still hasn't reported.

Update #5: New thread posted. Migrate over there!
