All Districts heard from! Hall's Lead up to 4,272 or 2.4%!! Numbers confirmed by State Board.
Journal News Reports: "I accept whatever process the congresswoman needs to go through to accept her loss," Hall said.
OUCH!
UPDATE: Kelly just retained Spano's old Election Lawyer, who dragged out that election til February!
How you can help:
email Sue Kelly at sue@suekellyforcongress.com and ask her to concede already!

Oh, and if you look at the current numbers breakdown, Sue Kelly would have to win almost EVERY SINGLE ABSENTEE BALLOT to win, since affidavit ballots frequently break for the Democrat. John's margin is only getting bigger right now with the new Westchester results. The Hall campaign continues to update the Westchester results on their site.
Sue Kelly had a press conference today at noon, but announced she will not concede to John Hall until all of the votes are counted.
Granted there are still absentee ballots to be counted, BUT, 98% of districts are reporting and Hall has a 51%-49% lead over Kelly. [Raw Numbers: Hall: 92,514 Kelly: 88,939]
Kelly is hoping that her semi-aggressive absentee ballot campaign will still pull the day.
HOWEVER, even if Kelly gains in absentee ballots... 11% of Westchester (Where Hall has a 13 percentage point lead) are still not counted, so John's additional votes in Westchester will erase Kelly's absentee gains and I think the overall lead will remain the same.
Good bye, Sue Kelly. We don't want you 'round here no mo'.
