A New (York) Leader
It's been 48 hours since polls closed in the NY-20 special election, but Assemb. Jim Tedisco (R) finally took the lead in the race tonight, according to PolitickerNY. On election night, businessman Scott Murphy (D) held a 65-vote lead. Yesterday, as counties began re-canvassing, that lead shrunk to 25. And today, as more counties continued to examine voting machines, Tedisco took the lead.
In the coming days, as different localities continue with this process, the margin will change. Of course, everyone's waiting for the counting of the roughly 6K absentee ballots to commence. A judge will decide 4/6 when that will happen.
