NY23…again
Ponsdorf sends this article from the Syracuse Herald that *surprise* some of Conservative Doug Hoffman’s votes were uncounted in the mid-mid-term election last week;
Now a recanvassing in the 11-county district shows that Owens’ lead has narrowed to 3,026 votes over Hoffman, 66,698 to 63,672, according to the latest unofficial results from the state Board of Elections.
In Oswego County, where Hoffman was reported to lead by only 500 votes with 93 percent of the vote counted election night, inspectors found Hoffman actually won by 1,748 votes — 12,748 to 11,000.
The new vote totals mean the race will be decided by absentee ballots, of which about 10,200 were distributed, said John Conklin, communications director for the state Board of Elections.
Under a new law in New York that extended deadlines, military and overseas ballots received by this coming Monday (and postmarked by Nov. 2) will be counted. Standard absentee ballots had to be returned this past Monday.
I’m not sure how this will shake out, but at least it makes my election predictions look a bit better.

Amazing that whole precincts turned in a zero for hoffman and no one said, “Hey, wait a second.”
The other guy has been sworn in and voted on the Health Care bill. This could be fun.
Just like a SocDem Lib. Bitch about the results and twist until it comes out the way YOU want it — real, honost, or not.
Hopefully, this overturns the election so that Hoffman wins and Pelosi strokes out in a fit of pique.
