NY-23 ABSENTEE COUNTS: Hoffman can't win
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 2009
It's over. Rep. Bill Owens, D-Plattsburgh, leads by 3,105 votes with 3,072 absentee ballots left to be counted.
It looks like these results will be challenged by Team Hoffman. I wrote about this - it's not even right to call it a "virus" - issue last Friday.
