The Republican is ahead in one of the races being recounted (George Amedore in SD46). If he holds on, the GOP will control the Senate (with Felder’s vote) even if none of the members of the Independent Democratic Conference vote for Skelos.
BTW, Simcha Felder beat out the Republican in the Conservative Party primary by running as a write-in. Thar Senate district is the new “Super Jewish District” in Brooklyn, and I would be shocked if Felder wasn’t an Orthodox Jew.
That says Albany County abseetees have put the rat back in the lead. Her name is Tkaczyk (pronounced Ka-Chick).
I smell larceny.
