Murphy Leading in NY 20 Special Election

The special election to fill Gillibrand's spot is going well for the dems. (Gillibrand replaced Clinton's senate seat after she took the sec of state.) This is a highly repub area with a 7000 edge voter registration list so technically the repubs should be winning. That just ain't so.

"In the NY-20 special election, the latest update shows Scott Murphy's (D) lead is now 46 votes over Jim Tedisco (R)."

Now there are still lots of absontee ballots to count but this should have been over on election night with Tedisco winning. But it wasn't. It can go either way but there are good indications that the dems will be keeping this seat.

Update: Murphy now has  a 35 vote lead.
