I'm optimistic because the results are unknown, and the margin certainly is razor thin,

These are preliminary results and both sides will have the opportunity to examine and challenge the proxy tabulation prior to final certification,

I bet that if [molecular biologists] come to use the genes responsible for cranial morphology, our results will certainly agree.
