Looks like Bill Owens has it. It's been called by Fox and other networks now. We won! Huge upset! Time to bake a cake!

Okay one last update. There are only 6,000 absentee ballots apparently. Now the tally is Owens 62,662 Hoffman 57,572 with 92% in. Wow, a 5,000 vote margin. I am just beaming over this result. This is a sweeping repudiation of all the right-wing, batshite crazy idiots. Yes, Maine and New Jersey are huge disappointments, but this is a shimmering joyful bright spot in our night.
There's a great link to the NY-23 results. If these numbers hold, then of course we win. It would be truly awesome to take this seat.
Current tally: 87% reporting (528 of 606 precincts)
Owens (D) 59,809 49%
Hoffman (C) 55,229 45%
It's Owens +4,580 votes now
(Note: I am no longer updating Scozzafava's numbers)
I will update this as I go.
