[Final UPDATE, 12:15 AM]: We got ‘em both.
Polls just closed in NY-09. AP Results here.
Polls in NV-02 still open until 7 PM Pacific. [UPDATE: Polls closed. Results here.]
UPDATE, 10:03 PM: For the record, if the final result is as below (it won’t be)…
…then the Democrats are going to be ticked.
UPDATE, 10:45 PM: OK, more seriously. With 12% of the vote in, Turner’s ahead 56/44 and it’s starting to look like the Republican might actually win the Queens part of the district as well as the Brooklyn one (Turner was aiming for doing well enough).
UPDATE, 10:50 PM: we need a better NV-02 counter.
UPDATE, 10:56 PM: Annnnnnnnnd… two districts have reported in in NV-02! This is going to be a lonnnnng night.

That said Turner is expected to do very well in Brooklyn where most Orthodox Jews reside.
Moe, Turner has filed court order
lineholder (Diary) Tuesday, September 13th at 10:16PM EDT (link)to impound all absentee ballots, so we may not get results tonight.

Keep an eye for Forrest Hills in Queens its very pro Dem once that comes in a cal can be made
proudgop, with 61 of 512 precincts in
lineholder (Diary) Tuesday, September 13th at 10:45PM EDT (link)Turner 56% and Weprin 44%
What is really huge,
barry915barry (Diary) Tuesday, September 13th at 10:46PM EDT (link)Is that Turner is leading in Queens!. Barry.
100 in out 512
proudgop (Diary) Tuesday, September 13th at 10:53PM EDT (link)turnout appears to be low
Its looking great but more Queens needs to come in. I have no idea what parts have come in
Turner is up by 747 votes. 52-48%
barry915barry (Diary) Tuesday, September 13th at 11:02PM EDT (link)With 149/512 in. The vast majority, 135 of those are in queens (where Turner trails by 3 votes). Barry.
I wish the President would have campaigned for the Dem candidates on NV and NY.
SoFiMil (Diary) Tuesday, September 13th at 10:53PM EDT (link)If so, I could go to bed early assured of a Republican sweep.

I'm waiting to hear Weprin charging vote fraud in Brooklyn
bk (Diary) Tuesday, September 13th at 11:05PM EDT (link)The slower returns there must be to see how many cheating votes they need to overcome Weprin votes in Queens.
Yep, I bet they are already measuring trunk space.

Question for one of the front pagers or even Moe if he has the time.
Mike Ferguson (Diary) Tuesday, September 13th at 11:18PM EDT (link)How big a deal is it if we actually take both of these house seats and how much will it impact the probability of a republican president in the next election?

usdebateboard Tuesday, September 13th at 11:26PM EDT (link)But this will just go to show you that you can never run far enough or fast enough away from Obama if you want to get elected and have a “D” after your last name.
Which is nice, in a Presidential election year.
The conventional wisdom is that if Dems lose, it doesn't matter, but if Republicans lose, it's a bellweather.
acat (Diary) Tuesday, September 13th at 11:30PM EDT (link)You’re welcome to interpret that as media hype, of course.
In seriousness, they matter as much as any other rigorous likely-voters poll, they’re no more than indicators at a specific point in time, for a specific district.

Don't have a heart attack, but I agree
usdebateboard Tuesday, September 13th at 11:35PM EDT (link)If Republicans lose, the MSM will declare Obama has turned back the revolution and is suddenly invincible.
If Democrats lose, they’ll blame Weiner and Reid.
This is normally true.
spainishirish (Diary) Tuesday, September 13th at 11:44PM EDT (link)It won’t fly with this one, though, given the partisan breakdown in this district.
I don’t know how it will end up but Turner’s lead is widening. Spin won’t work with even a close loss; imagine how a four or five percent win will look in this district. This will play into the DOOM scenario.
It's NY, spanishirish. The GOP *has* to win by 5%...
acat (Diary) Tuesday, September 13th at 11:49PM EDT (link)otherwise it’ll be challenged and stolen in the recount.

Indeed.

Well, in practical terms...
Moe Lane (Diary) Tuesday, September 13th at 11:36PM EDT (link)…it obviously won’t change the voting patterns in the House significantly. You’re going to see a heck of a lot of ink/photons excusing away the NY-09 results; and there is something to the argument that NY voters like to punish dumb behavior by proxy. But this isn’t going to be a thumb’s-up for Obama any which way.
Symbolically, the Democrats will now shut up a bit about how they’re these great Monsters of Special Elections, which would be worth a half million bucks right there.

Turner 51-49, apprx 40% in.

Brooklyn hasn't reported though
mboyle1988 (Diary) Tuesday, September 13th at 11:37PM EDT (link)Werpin needed 54% in Queens and 42% in Brooklyn. He’s not hitting either number. My friend from high school did opp research for Turner. Boots on the ground tell me that Turner’s going to win 51-48, based on the returns so far.
Several groups on twitter have called it for Turner
carolina Tuesday, September 13th at 11:34PM EDT (link)Turner is already thanking supporters and Koch and Giuliani are celebrating with him. They know which precints they need to carry, and by how much. Plus their own poll watchers phone in precinct results. I do believe Turner has won.
I think they're right
Finrod (Diary) Tuesday, September 13th at 11:52PM EDT (link)Two-thirds of the Queens districts are in where he’s trailing 51-49, and only a third of the Brooklyn districts are in where he’s leading 69-31.
This is looking very good.

If GOP wins, this seat, and Hochul's seat in upstate NY, will be eliminated in redistricting
nvrepub (Diary) Tuesday, September 13th at 11:38PM EDT (link)Bottom line: one GOP, and one DEM seat will be eliminated; one in NYC and one in upstate. This would let both parties off the hook: each eliminates the new guy.

This is awesome!
SirGladiator (Diary) Wednesday, September 14th at 4:09AM EDT (link)This would be a really sweet victory even if we were just looking at our past history of losing Special Elections, and seeing how incredibly we’ve improved, but this isn’t just about winning in both red and blue America, this isnt just about being a great night for Conservatives and Republicans, this is about sending two important messages. For one, a message to the White House that American voters, even liberal democratic voters in the bluest of blue states, will not stand with you if you don’t stand with Israel. And the other, that these same voters will not stand with you if you stand against Marriage, as the Democratic nominee did. I’m proud of the voters in NY who put principle above party, and of course Im also very happy that the people of NV, in a more traditional Conservative vs Liberal contest, chose the Tea Party Conservative in a Landslide over the liberal democrat. A truly great night for America!
