| The final tally of the paper ballots and the machine recanvasses from all 10 counties per the BoE:
Murphy - 79,839
Tedisco - 79,566
The only votes left to count are the 1,300 challenged ballots and attorneys for both campaigns will be in court Monday morning arguing over them. Regardless of how those arguments go, there just isn't any credible way to make Tedisco the winner here, no matter what he and his lawyers say.
The long and the short of it is this: Murphy has won. Tedisco has lost. Sure, it was close, but it's now effectively over. Tedisco's Escape From Albany plan is deader than a doornail, folks.
It's time for Tedisco to make that obligatory phone call. It's time for him to concede. |
