Report: Ballot problems in NY's 23rd Congressional District

This is not good news for political junkies hoping to get a winner in New York's 23rd Congressional District before bedtime: There are voting machine problems in St. Lawrence County, one of the more populous areas in the district.

The Watertown Daily Times says there are problems with the new scanners that read the ballots in the towns of Louisville, Waddington, Rossie and Clare.

“We may not have results from those towns tonight," St. Lawrence County Board of Elections Deputy Commissioner Thomas Nichols told the paper.

St. Lawrence County accounted for 41,000 votes -- about 17% of the total -- in the 2008 congressional election.

Public opinion polls suggested that tonight's race between Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman and Democrat Bill Owens would be close. The polls closed at 9 p.m. ET in New York.

So disappointing. I hope a miracle could still happen. But so far, it looks like too many morons in that district prefer another chickenneck rule-your-life Demmie to a man who at least would have been a third party representative and a promoter of fiscal soundness.

That's not looking good. This is the race that all the political heads are calling the referendums on Obama. The governorships are more about local state issues.

Me too. But did you ever see a "dorkier", less charismatic candidate?:rolleyes:

This is the big race of tonight. If Hoffman loses, it will be spun that republicans must moderate. In other words, cap and trade, and Obamacare.

Not necessarily...

"...after all, she literally endorsed the Democrat, and that's gotta be good for 5 points out of her 22% following, just her supporters doing what she asked them to."

I hope Hoffman registers Republican and makes another run for Congress.

I don't -- he is too neocon for my tastes. I was looking at him for a Pelosi referendum. Scozza of course fell on her sword for Pelosi and tossed her voters to the Dem. I hope we get a real Conservative in 2010, one that obeys the Constitution and opposes all these unconstitutional wars and government moral interventions into everybody's lives.
