The #2 Dem in the House, Maryland Rep. Steny Hoyer is trailing his Republican opponent 53%-46%, with 14% of the vote in. Still early. But the Repub is an African-American and this is a heavily African American district.
Good Democrat Rush Holt of NJ also trails with about 25% of the vote in.
Update I: CNN is now projecting Hoyer to win, although he still trails 53%-46% with 17% of the vote in. State-wide, the Republican vote tends to come in earlier, but for this district, I don't know.
Update II: 39% of the vote now in and Hoyer way ahead with 65% of the vote. Sorry for the false alarm.
Update III: CNN has now projected that Good Democrat Rush Holt of NJ will retain his House seat. Very good news.
