NY Daily News: Is it possible we may not get a winner in NY-9 tonight after all?

Bob Turner’s campaign filed for - and received - a court order to impound all absentee ballots, citing “gross incompetence” by the Board of Elections.

Turner’s lawyers charged that absentee ballots were sent to dead people and voters who didn't ask for them. The campaign claimed at least five dead people were issued ballots.

NY: http://www.elections.state.ny.us/

but i don’t see any results....

It was set to be redistricted even before Weiner flashed his weiner.

[TNCMAXQ]

LOL! Caddyshack was crude but I got a lot of laughs out of it. “You! You’re no gentleman!!”

[God luvs America]

here’s hoping the new district is run by a buxom blonde in her 20’s....just in case...

[newzjunkey]

Dead people got ballots in a Dem district? I'm shocked! /s

[NYCslicker]

“Now I see why tigers eat their young!”

[Grunthor]

Still no vote counts in NY? Shenanigans going on?

[KansasGirl]

That would be my guess.

[TNCMAXQ]

This seems kind of ridiculous. Forty plus minutes and not a single vote has been counted, or at least reported to the media or other sites? Either the vote counters are quite incompetent or the Dems are somehow holding back and plotting a big theft.

[Col Frank Slade]

Or picking his nose..

We need an expert to come in and see where the dead are voting!

We all talk about how they’re going to steal our elections, we watch them steal our elections, yet we seem powerless to stop them.

Why? If it’s blatant fraud, why can’t we stop them?

[profit_guy]

I predict two things will take place tomorrow:

1. the sun will rise

2. when the Dems lose tonight in NY, they will accuse the GOP of cheating

[cashless]

With a candidate from the Socialist Workers Party on the ballot, I bet the union's loyalty was severely tested. Imagine all the “voter education” that had to go on so that SEIU, teachers, sanitation workers, and other assorted union types in the district had to be told to NOT vote for their candidate like they bad always done in the past but vote DemocRat this time.

[God luvs America]

because the GOP fights like little girls...credit Turner for the preemptive strike...
