Election Night '84 - 11:51
11:51
Okay we tried to call this one earlier for Senator Buckley and now we can confirm, he has won the state of Montana. That’s a very good result for the Conservative senator tonight in the Mountain West and the Great Plains.
In addition, we’re ready to call the state of Kansas with its seven electoral votes for President John B. Anderson. Another close three-way race where it looks like the incumbency factor may have worked to the president’s advantage.
Anderson: 179
Buckley: 81
Lamm: 141
Dick Lamm is really on a knife’s edge here, Tom. And if we do see things splitting down the middle or if Buckley pulls off even one or two more upsets, we really could see a no-win election.
Yes, and we’re going to be talking with former White House Counsel Robert Lipshutz here in just a few minutes to discuss the legal processes and ramifications of a hung election when we come back, right after these messages.
