Roughly 20,000 - 23,000, my guess.

Ayotte carries Bow
Another moderate Republican town goes for Ayotte.
Important towns remaining
Belmont, up in Belknap
Cheshire -- Swanzey, Walpole
Hillsborough -- AMherst, Brookline, Hollis, Milford
Merrimack -- Bow
Rockingham -- Derry, Exeter, Windham
... and on the Seacoast, the city of Dover. Exactly when was the last time Dover was decisive in a GOP primary?
it's been that kind of night.
What's going on?
My goofy 1 a.m. take on what's happening:
Ayotte winning in more liberal parts of state. Cheshire, Sullivan, Strafford, Seacoast.
Is it organization, moderate GOPers defecting to her from Binnie and Bender? I'm not sure.
But it's happening.
Ayotte wins Binnie's hometown
Dep't of Irony on line two: Who wins Binnie's hometown of Rye? Kelly Ayotte.
Ayotte on the Seacoast
Ovide's still winning Rockingham County, and he's doing it on the basis of western part of the county, places like Candia, Auburn, Raymond, Chester.
Where's Ayotte doing well? Seacoast. Should be Bill Binnie territory but it's not tonight. It belongs tot he conservative - (but-not-quite-as-conservative-as-Ovide), Kelly Ayotte.
Tooth and nail in Belknap County
almost dead even between ayotte and ovide
now it's ovide's turn to be nervous
Almost all of greater Manchester has reported in now.
Ovide took the lead here, but did not win it here.
