Only 83 votes separate candidates for 5th Subcircuit A vacancy
These are the 11:31 a.m. numbers.
DEM - Judge, 5th Subcircuit (Additional Judgeship A)
This was an interesting race. Stern finished last in 2006 in a three way race discussed on this blog when Judge Shelley was elected in the 5th Sub-Circuit. Rumor has it Stern spent over 200K this time and was backed by all of the Committemen, Congressmen, and African-American Judges. Voters in the 5th Subcircuit, however, seem to have their own favorites.

Judge Sherry Pethers beat Jon Erickson by 53 votes in a 4-way race in 2004 in the 8th subcircuit!
