Update II:
MURPHY - 46,645 50%
TEDISCO- 46,969 50%
386 of 610 reporting.
Update III: From AP:
88% of precincts reporting .
Jim Tedisco (R) 50% (73523)
Scott Murphy (D) 50% (73421)
Update by Arjun: Most of the votes outstanding are in Saratoga County, where Tedisco is winning 55% to 45%. Not looking good, though this is still winnable.
Update #4: With several thousand absentee ballots out there, there's actually a good chance we may not have a winner tonight.
Update #5: Murphy's closing the gap in Saratoga somewhat, and Saratoga is almost all in. With about 5900 absentee ballots out, it's still possible for either candidate to win. Tedisco is the man to beat, though.
Update #6: A whole bunch of Columbia County came in and helped Murphy close to within 100 votes.
Now, the question is whether Tedisco's margin in the outstanding Saratoga County votes will outweigh a possible Murphy edge in the absentee ballots (and in the eight outstanding precincts in Columbia County).
Tedisco should be feeling good, but he shouldn't declare victory just yet.
