Murphy Gains AGAIN in NY-20

[wyldwolf]

Scott Murphy (D) jumped even further ahead of Jim Tedisco (R) in the latest tally and now leads by 264 votes.

Politico: "There are still over 1,200 absentee ballots that haven't been counted because both campaigns have objected to their legality. But it appears that Tedisco has objected to the majority of those ballots, making it very unlikely that he will be able to overcome a triple-digit deficit when they are added to the count."

Politicker NY says the remaining absentee ballots will be reviewed on Monday.

2. Well, Obviously That Means Tedisco Should Be DeclaredThe Winner, Right?

The more votes Murphy gains, the more clear it Tedisco won. Or something like that.

5. That's great news.

A week or so before the election the right was talking about how this would be a big blow for Obama when the Democrat lost.

This is a republican district folks.

6. These wins are squeakers.

We need to pay close attention to the needs and voices of constituents from all of our Congressional Districts and Senate Seats.

Jusr saying.......way too close, just a legal win in my eyes.

9. Uh What? There's No Way In Hell A Dem Should Have Come Even Close In This District

The fact that he won is incredible.

10. Yep...

this is definitely good news. :)

12. As someone who lives in the 20th CD this is not a squeaker. IMO

This is Republican territory, we are surrounded. But we have made HUGH! gains in the last few election cycles.

:sarcasm:

He might need to go talk to Rush again for some more advice.
