Murphy lead shrinks to 25 votes!!!

You thought it couldn’t get any tighter? The Albany Times-Union is reporting that a recount in Columbia County found new votes for Republican Jim Tedisco.

Democrat Scott Murphy’s lead is now 25 votes.

The take-away? A couple dozen people who didn’t bother to vote yesterday could have made all the difference in this race.

And now a confession: I was driving down to Saratoga Springs to cover the race yesterday afternoon when I realized I hadn’t voted.

That’s right. I completely blew it. My polling place is the northernmost point in the entire district and I was just too far south to turn back…sigh.
