Recap of the NY-20 race

This is a race that is worth following! Since Barack Obama won his election in November 2008, his party has lost elections in Louisiana, Georgia, possibly in Minnesota, and may lose this one and one in Chicago as well as ones in New Jersey and Virginia later in 2009.

1. Scott Murphy (D) is ahead by 65 votes. Nobody’s calling this race just yet.
   
2. There are somewhere between six and ten thousand absentee ballots that need to be counted.
   
3. They’re not being counted tonight. They’re not being counted for another week. (Via AoSHQ) You see, we do, in fact, actually learn from our mistakes.
   
4. The deadline for overseas absentee ballots is actually April 13th.
   
5. All that being said, just because we haven’t lost yet doesn’t mean that we’ve won, either. Don’t assume that the absentee ballots are going to flip this race dramatically.
   
6. If you still have nervous energy to work off, Rosanna Pulido (the candidate for IL-05) would love your help.

I believe that covers it. So everybody have a bite to eat, or something.
