Then it still takes 218 votes since a tie is a loss. Without Owens and not counting Cao it’s 218-215 so it still passes if all else stays the same. But it’s fun to speculate – Without Cao, that makes each and every Democrat “the one” who caused it to pass. All cover is lost.

one can only wonder how many of the absentee ballots (esp from military) or other early votes would have been marked for Hoffman instead.

Perhaps Dede really did cost him the election.

And over 1,000 of them have been received so far. The deadline for receiving them, postmarked by Nov. 2, is this coming Monday. Absentee ballots will begin being counted then. About 10,200 absentee ballots were distributed according to election officials, all of them before Scozzafava withdrew, so they are expected to favor Hoffman.

Scientist: "It’s worse than horrible, because a Zombie has no will of his own. You see them some times, walking around blindly with dead eyes, following orders, not knowing what they do, not caring."

...by 300 votes on election night. Four of the districts within Jefferson County, which is the home of Fort Drum and the Army's 10th Mountain Division, reported vote totals of "0" for Hoffman. Hoffman now leads Owens in Jefferson County by over 400 votes now that they've corrected those mistakes--and about 2,000 absentee ballots from the Fort won't be counted until next week. Hoffman could quite seriously pull this one out.

If Hoffman wins the final count, Owens will be removed from office and Hoffman sworn in.
