Republicans Trying to Sweep Special Congressional Elections in Nevada, New York – Vote Return Links 9/13/11 UPDATED: AP Calls NY CD-9 for Republican Bob Turner UPDATED: AP Calls NV CD-2 for Republican Mark Amodei
Republicans are trying to sweep the two Special Congressional Elections being held tonight. Right now, Republican Bob Turner is leading Democrat David Weprin in New York’s 9th Congressional District by 2,500 votes, 53%-47%. This district has been in Democrat hands since 1923. So, it would send shockwaves throughout the country if Turner can pull out a win in Anthony Weiner’s old district. Barack Obama is not polling well in this district, and a loss there by the Democrats would signal just how weak he is around the country.
In Nevada’s 2nd Congressional District, Republican Mark Amodei is way ahead of Democrat Kate Marshall in early vote returns. Here are links to the Associated Press vote returns for the two districts:

UPDATE 9/14/11 12:11 AM - The Associated Press has now called the Nevada CD-2 race for Republican Mark Amodei! It’s a sweep for the GOP!!!!
