Update: It’s Murphy by 168

The Board of Elections posted their most recent update mid-morning and it shows Democrat Scott Murphy moving ahead incrementally: a grand margin of 168 — which sort of sounds huge at this point.

Caveat A: Saratoga County, a Jim Tedisco/Republican stronghold, hasn’t submitted any of their absentee ballots yet.

Caveat B: This is getting ugly, with the Tedisco camp alleging that military voters are being disenfranchised and 2nd homeowners voting illegally; and the Murphy camp claiming that the GOP is trying to disenfranchise old people and Jews.

A couple of weeks ago it was the TV stations making major bank off this election; now it’s the lawyers.

Stay tuned!
