In New York’s 20th Congressional District, Newsday reports that between recanvassing and absentees from Greene, Dutchess, and Columbia Counties, Jim Tedisco (R) has widened his lead over Scott Murphy (D) by seven votes, to 24. But Tedisco’s advantage comes from the recanvassing — Murphy is just barely beating him among the absentees.
Bottom line: it’s really, really, really close, and Murphy is doing better so far with the absentees than their party registration would suggest.
