Observers will get to see a Florida style dispute near Albany as both
major parties jockey to win a State Senate race in the newly minted 46th SD
where Republican George Amedore holds a thin 110 vote lead over Democrat
Cecilia Tkaczyk.
Absentee and affidavit ballots have been counted in Ulster County where
the Democrat has closed the margin with townships like Woodstock where Ms.
Tkaczyk garnered 80% of the vote.
The fight now shifts to the courtroom where some 1,000 disputed ballots
will be argued over. Democrats say they are confident these will go their
way. I suspect many of the disputes center on whether the voter really lives
in the district.
The race is essentially a tie but when its that close there is a fight
over every vote. It's about winning and the decisions of a judge will shape
the result.
With the Senate split down the middle,every seat is a battleground.
The irony here is that the Senate GOP had expanded the size of the
body in a bid to give themselves a free upstate seat....The 46th race was
not as easy as they thought it would be. | l******g 发帖数: 6771 | 2 共和党够惨
