Voting machine problems in St. Lawrence County. Looks to be a long night in NY-23.

[Nachum]

Intrade shows Corzine winning after the AP has already showing him lost. Not going to trust this site...

I am going to hazard a guess and say this race will get closer as the night goes on. The earlier returns are likely in larger towns and cities, and the more rural, and more conservative vote, will come in later.

Don't give up hope. I never would have guessed the NJ race would have been called this early.

>> Don’t be dissappointed.
>> This particular election served as a WARNING NOTICE.

Exactly.

We knew the risk going into this, but principle was paramount to the security of electing a RINO.

I guarantee a Hoffman loss will only charge the base with more energy, more conviction, and greater urgency.

It doesn't matter what the Democrats say, the election clearly exhibits a lot of disappointed voters with the Democrats in all 3 elections. Things are going to get worse, especially if Healthcare is passed. More jobs are going to be lost. The economy is going to get worst. The market and dollar is going to suffer. We are facing bad times and everyone needs to make sure that they have an OLD $HIT BAR TO GRAB ONTO!

[Steely Tom]

Means nothing..this is a large area ... some saying they won’t report until tomorrow..don’t fret.

You've got that right.

It runs from east of Syracuse clear across to the Vermont border, up to Watertown and the Canadian border, and across to Plattsburg and Lake Placid. It doesn't include the Capitol District, but it does include the entire Adirondack region. Very sparsely populated. It also includes Fort Drum. Many active duty military, many in Afghanistan.

3.6% with 47% reporting.. D still up, but its closest Hoffmans been all night and numbers are moving in right direction.

[ak267]

Within 3% now :)

Closing the gap :)

[Patrick1]

3.6% and closing

[Grizzled Bear]

Given these are only the larger cities in a widely rural area, and many districts have stated they won’t have results until morning, Hoffman is in good shape

Remember Minnesota. The Corrupt Liberal Political Crime Machine has automobile trunks filled with absentee ballots to count at the end. There should be more than enough to ensure victory.
