Venture capitalist Scott Murphy (D) will win the special election in New York's 20th district by 210 votes after all outstanding absentee and military ballots are counted, according to projections made by Democratic Party officials and obtained by the Fix.
The projections -- based off of the county performances by Murphy and state Assemblyman Jim Tedisco (R) on election night -- show the Democrat gaining 115 votes in Warren County, 96 votes in Columbia County and 70 votes in Washington County as well as scoring smaller gains in several other counties. Tedisco's only major gain, according to the model, will be in Saratoga County where he will net an additional 116 votes.
The Democratic projection puts the total number of absentee and military ballots at 5,584 with Murphy winning 2,864 and Tedisco taking 2,720. On election night, Murphy held a 65-vote lead -- 77,344 to 77,279.

How can they predict this? How do they know how all those absentees voted?
If correct, the GOP cannot continue to lose votes after election day. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
Do you see how close these elections are? Staying home won't help. You are part of the problem if you're not part of the solution...
If the GOP gets a clue and runs someone better, maybe I'll go vote for 'em. I do like Sarah Palin. But I see the Republican party picking RINOs as nominees and I see the Democrats engaging in naked election fraud, and I just don't see why I need to participate in that game.
And although I've never missed an election since 1978 (and I've never voted for a single Democrat), I am quite tired of the mantra: "Democrats win because Republicans refuse to vote". I think that is SERIOUSLY missing the real problem. The problem is two-fold: 1) The GOP does not oppose Democrat policies, and 2) The Democrats cheat.
Something smells...
Even if Tedisco squeaks it out, he lost. He should have won by 6,000 votes. Steele is a retard, and should be fired. I don’t care if the Left screams “high-tech lynching!”. Get rid of the loser.
Last I heard the House GOP stood united against the stimulus.
The GOP stands strong and united in opposition only when it serves no purpoise to do so.
I believe a large purpose was served.
When the stimulus goes into effect and all the corruption and failure is seen, EVERY House GOP member can say, "we told you so".
This is capable of having a very large effect come Nov. '10.
“they will try to have military ballots thrown out”
And they are often successful... unfortunately.
“The Democratic projection puts the total number of absentee and military ballots at 5,584 with Murphy winning 2,864 and Tedisco taking 2,720”
And how the hell would they know that, considered they’ve been “sequestered” by a judge? Sounds to me like some “special counting” has been occurring here.
Once again, another close “election” to the dems. We are toast.
“When the stimulus goes into effect and all the corruption and failure is seen...”
Who’s going to the let the sheeple see the corruption and failure? The MSM? LOL!!!
The rats are willing to lie, cheat, and steal with absolutely no shame or conscience. The gutless Republicans don’t stand a chance.
“to the let” = “to let”
Long day..
no democrats have learned. Absentee ballots are a license to print victory.
You don’t need the actual voter, just a willing notary IF THAT.
Nursing homes are the best with old people who are clueless.
If a republican does not win by a wide marging the fraud allows the taking.
I can't argue with that, but now that the radical libs have taken over the Rat party, there's NOTHING whatsoever to stop them from digging a hole so deep we'll never get out, while weakening our military, redistricting to keep themselves in power, and rigging the voting system so profoundly that everywhere they want, there will be a "D" behind the incumbent.

I live by a large military base and have had several interesting conversations in the last few weeks. I don’t think the GOP can count on military votes the way we used to. The racial and ethnic make-up of today’s military has resulted in strong support amongst military members who used to stay home or show no interest- but support for OBAMA. How anyone can vote against their interests so obviously, I don’t know but it seems to be the case.
