Republican Sues To Be Certified Winner

Post by UNHWildCats »

Republican James Tedisco filed a lawsuit with the New York State Supreme Court last nite demanding to be certified the winner before even 50 precints had reported results in his race for the NY-20 seat.

Tedisco is a tool.

He's a Capital Region rep and when I wrote to him asking why he was supporting SUNY Buffalo's bid to effectively separate itself from the SUNY system at the expense of Albany (and Bing and SBU) he wrote back telling me that he was doing it because Albany didn't propose the same thing. So instead of proposing an amendment he backed the bill that was harmful to his consituents because it was already written.

Tool.

Everytime I see his name I cannot help but think... Panic! from Tedisco.

I helped Murphy raise some money using my old candidates network... good guy... and given that the district has a 70,000 vote GOP edge... remarkable comeback for Murphy.

this one is going to come down to the absentees and then the recount.

Interesting that they accept absentee ballots after Election Day.

same in NY. Have to be postmarked by election.

Absentee ballets aren't counted unless necessary. They're necessary here.

MT absentees have to be in the election office at the close of the poll and are always counted.

they are accepting absentee ballots until the 7th a court ruled they had to accept military ones until the 14th

People that are mailing their ballot in state or especially in the district can F**K off, take some responsibility and get your ballot in. The military I can understand. Unfortunatly we still recieve a military ballot every once in a while from the November Presidential Election. The APO's are not very good at forwarding.
