Election and Post-Deck liveblogging

9:46 p.m. - A little down time in between, and we're just checking in on some races. Mary Norwood is hovering around 50 percent, while Jon Corzine is closing the gap in New Jersey (with 14 of the remaining 22 precincts remaining being solid Democratic strongholds). Also important to watch the gay marriage ban vote in Maine with a rejection of the ban holding on to a slim margin.

9:54 p.m. - Interesting development in District 141 where independent candidate E. Culver Kidd has taken hold in a four-way race, garnering more than 44 percent of the vote. He had great name recognition, but I'm still surprised at how convincing the support for him is.

10 p.m. - Two hours since the polls closed in Atlanta and only 23 percent is reporting? Mother of Mary.

10:01 p.m. - Talking Points Memo says it's looking rather unlikely for Corzine to pull it out. Not shocking, given his unpopularity, but the support for Chris Christie is somewhat surprising and a testament to rejection of the former.

10:11 p.m. - Steve Holzman offers up the results from North High Shoals, and congratulations are due to David Lawrence and Steve Arnold.

10:19 p.m. - In New York, Democrat Bill Owens has a slight lead with 20 percent reporting ... which is amazing to me. This is a Republican district with an energized conservative base, and their guy's in a dogfight. I still think Doug Hoffman pulls this out to send the Tea Party crowd into the stratosphere, but it's interesting to see how tight it is right now.

10:23 p.m. - With 44 percent reporting in Atlanta, Mary Norwood is at 47 percent and Kasim Reed is at 35 percent, but what's more staggering to me is the fact that, with just under half of the precincts reporting, less than 24,000 people have voted. Wow.

10:28 p.m. - Via The Washington Independent, lots of pessimism at Doug Hoffman's place. Wow. The NY-23 race has been one of the most fascinating ones in recent memory, and the sudden viability of a no-name Democrat in a Republican district against a third-party candidate makes for compelling political drama!

10:42 p.m. - I mean, seriously ... less than 30,000 voting with 54 percent reporting in Atlanta? Really?

10:45 p.m. - This is pretty amateurish, isn't it? First we're mad because the Democratic Party of Georgia decides to get involved in the Atlanta mayoral race, and now we're bothered that they sent out a GOTV reminder in the middle of the day? Let's pick a meme and stick with it, OK?

10:48 p.m. - We're inching closer to a Atlanta mayoral runoff as Mary Norwood's lead continues to shrink. With 60 percent reporting, she's up 44-36 over Kasim Reed.

11:01 p.m. - I think I'm winding down for the night, but it's 45-37 Norwood over Reed with 62 percent reporting and 49-45 Owens over Hoffman.
