Murphy +35

We began the week with an honest-to-goodness tie in NY-20, and we end it with businessman Scott Murphy (D) holding a 35-vote lead over Assemb. Jim Tedisco (R). Only a few counties have finished counting non-overseas absentee ballots, though, and Tedisco-friendly Saratoga Co. has not yet reported any totals to the state board of elections. And in areas that are expected to be big for Murphy, Washington and Columbia counties have also not reported significant returns.
In other words, we have a long way to go until we get a clearer picture of what's going on here.
In addition to those 3K+ absentee ballots, there are roughly 400 military and overseas ballots yet to be counted. They're due back in elections offices on 4/13.
