On the day before officials begin tallying absentee ballots in NY-20, the state Board of Election reports that Assemb. Jim Tedisco (R) leads businessman Scott Murphy (D) by 17 votes -- that's down from his 97-vote lead on 4/6.
Tomorrow, officials will begin counting the 6,759 absentee ballots in the race. Of that number, 3,111 are GOP ballots, and 2,394 are Dem absentees. Next week, military and overseas ballots will be counted. Those are due in elections offices by 4/13. So far, 201 military ballots have been received, along with 196 overseas ballots.
