From The Corner, which feeds the GOP election spin on Election Day (and I thank them for that, heck if I had any Dem spin to feed you, I would):

Long Election Week in Maryland?
A source close to Steele tells me they woudn't be surprised — "a very good chance" — if we don't know the results of the Senate race there tonight. Evidently 200,000 absentee ballots, and they won't be counted until Thursday, source says.

Take it for what it's worth.

    I'm expecting there to be any number of litigational challenges, before, during and  after recounts, by dissatisfied (losing) GOPers.  That, and the real nightmare to me is the Bilbray precedent - Hastert swore him in while the recount was pending, then Bilbray won a motion to dismiss the recount on the grounds that "the House is the sole judge of the qualifications of its' members" and swearing him in made clear how they'd judged that.  Never certified, but still in office.

    Granted, Bilbray was a special case, to fill a then-current term vacated by the convicted Cunningham and he immediately became a member on that basis, but there's no end to the chicanery these slugs will try, so we can look forward to it.

    Any word on turnout, etc. in TX-22, DeLay's old district?

    Fox reported Dracula-Gibbs leading 3 hours ago, but their numbers are suspect. Electadem had Lampson leading 4 hours ago... here's a blogsearch on it
