I know poll watchers have taken the ED's (4.00 / 2)

I know this since Great Neck usually does this on elections.

Also because my dad totaled the votes from the local polling station which represented 3 ED's. all positive stuff.

poll watcher ed counts (0.00 / 0)

the numbers the pollwatchers get are the same results as the unofficial election results posted by the BoE. pollwatchers by law are allowed to check the machines the same way the election poll workers are

the BoE tends to be faster though. I couldn't say why, but that's how it's been on the elections I've worked on

I'll hold off on what my predictions had been until a bit later (only so as to not jinx anything, not to massage the numbers), but in the meantime, please make sure that everyone who was out in the cold this evening at least has an Irish Coffee [insert hot beverage containing alcohol and caffeine here] or two

I agree. (4.00 / 2)

My dad was a poll watcher for the ED's 31, 32, 33.
All the ED's went easily for craig. (they should have based on past performance).

But those are still votes that are probably not counted yet in the results so.

Wait and see.

WFP at 3.6%, Turnout on pace for >37,000.

Silly operatives & insiders, they always underestimate the turnout in these races by at least 50%, it happened in South Dakota, it happened in Kentucky, and it's happening again here.

I wouldn't be too hard on them (0.00 / 0)

Usually turnout is low in special elections. In this particular one the market was saturated with commercials and volunteers so its not a surprise turnout is higher than expected.

Saturated Is Probably an Understatement (0.00 / 0)

Something on the order of $5 million was spent on this race, which really only got under way three weeks ago. Considering the time involved and the size of the district, this is probably the most expensive race in U.S. election history, at any level (approximately $35 per voter, per week).

I was off by a factor of 2; 20,000 was actually a number I heard "to win"; so that puts them pretty darn close.

Even if the last dozen precincts are her best dozen precincts, there's no way she wins. (4.00 / 1)

200 margin per precinct is just too much to overcome.

I'm calling this for Craig Johnson!

Game, Set, Match Craig Johnson (4.00 / 2)

Game, Set, Match The 7th Senate District. Craig Johnson will represent you in Albany with the same energy he brought to the Nassau County Legislature.
Game, Set, Match Governor Spitzer. You went all-in, Joe Bruno called you, and you had the nuts.
Game, Set, Match The Albany Project. Your first election will always be special.
Game, Set, Match New York Democrats. You are 33% closer to taking something you haven't had in years.
Game, Set, Match Working Families Party. You competed with the other two lines in a district where they vastly outnumber you in registrations, and your volunteer effort helped us carry the day.
Game, Set, Match the grassroots in New York. Never has a statewide movement so effectively unified between a single candidate.
Game, Set, Match the labor movement. You have one more voice in Albany to stand up for workers rights.
Game, Set, Match NARAL pro choice New York and the pro-choice movement. A woman's right to choose will not depend on the weather in New York State.
Game, Set, Match stem cell research. Science will not be held hostage by religious extremists in New York State.
Game, Set, Match Empire State Pride, Stonewall Dems, and HRC. Despite the Conservative mailer, you are one step closer to marriage equality in NY.
Game, Set, Match reform in New York State. Three men in a room is just two men from being history.
Game, Set, Match Kirsten Gillibrand, John Hall and Mike Arcuri. If you make it to 2010, you will be safe.

Joe Bruno, checkmate. Bring on Dean Skelos.

Apologies only for mixing my metaphors.
