ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - After a short and intense campaign, the New York congressional race that focused on President Barack Obama’s popularity and his economic policy was still too close to call about an hour after polls closed.
Just before 10 p.m., with 81 percent of the precincts in the 20th Congressional District reporting, Republican Jim Tedisco led Democrat Scott Murphy by about 1,000 votes, a 1 percent lead, in the race to replace Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand.

CRAWFISH NOTE: Bank on it…anything under 1,000 votes and the dem ballot boneheads will steal it.
UPDATE APRIL 1…about 59 votes difference so you can bet the ballot bozos will steal it again…its what dems do…dem is ahead so watch the media reaction when a dem is ahead! Absentee ballots out are military so watch this one closely.
10,055 absentee ballots were issued — and 5,907 received so far.

UPDATE APRIL 2: With 154,409 votes cast on election day, Democrat Scott Murphy holds a 13-vote lead over Republican James Tedisco.
Still uncounted are 5,907 mailed absentee ballots that have been received. An additional 4,000 were mailed out but have not yet been received. If they are received by April 7 for regular absentee ballots, or April 13 for military and overseas ballots, they will be counted.
Some political analysts believe Tedisco may have an advantage in these absentee ballots.
LOOK FOR SOME KASPER D. GOST BALLOTS.
