State board of elections spokesman Bob Brehm tells us that 10,055 absentee ballots were issued for this election. And 5,907 were returned. When you figure that the election night total was a 65 vote margin this really is going to be all about who had a better absentee ballot operation.

10:27 PM: Now we get to the part of the evening where subtle shifts in previously “100% reported” counties start to change. In Washington County, which was previously fully reported, added 252 Murphy votes and 220 Tedisco votes, so the overall numbers jumped. Two of the three outstanding Saratoga precincts came in, and Murphy holds an 81-vote lead with one Saratoga precinct outstanding “officially,” and possibly some slight toggling of numbers in other counties that are officially in.

Not looking good for the forces of truth, justive, & the American way… We are the champions… we are the champions… we are the champions of the world!
