Okay, I think it’s about time to close the books on the Laffey challenge.
At 10:36 10:43, with 84% 90% of the vote in, it’s Chafee 54%, Laffey 46%.
That margin has been close to set in stone from the first precincts reporting. So I don’t see any reason to think it’ll change.
Late Update: the Projo primary blog suggests that some of the few remaining votes are from Warwick, RI’s second city, where Chafee was once mayor. So I’d say, Laffey is down for the count.
