Election Night '84 - 10:34
10:34
Back with more surprising news on this unprecedented election night, we’re projecting that Senator James Buckley of Connecticut has carried that state, Connecticut goes for James L. Buckley.
Anderson: 96
Buckley: 69
Lamm: 97
It’s been a close-fought battle, but with 99% of precincts reporting we’re confident in our call of Connecticut. It may seem strange to be surprised that a candidate has won a state that he represents in Congress, but Mr. Buckley’s circumstances are a little odd in that...excuse me, ladies and gentlemen, we’re going to pull our call of Montana back. Montana goes back to too close to call. Mr. Buckley is still in the lead but our team doesn’t like the trends. Once again if you are flipping channels, we just want to explain that our results may be different from those on other networks as we are...okay apologies again everyone, but we have another big result to announce.
We previously called Ohio for Governor Lamm. The race then proved too close to call and we pulled it back. Now, with some vindication, we can confidently say that Governor Lamm has indeed won the state of Ohio, keeping him very much front and center in this race for the presidency.
Anderson: 96
Buckley: 65
Lamm: 120
