This from Politico: Just chatted with Saratoga County Republican party chairman Jasper Nolan here at Republican Jim Tedisco's party.
Nolan said he doesn’t think that the race will be called tonight
because there are about 10,000 outstanding absentee ballots left to be
counted -- and he thinks that tonight’s margin will be within that
number.
Update: All the counties have been tallied and Murphy leads by 65 votes. Now we just have to wait to find out the schedule for dealing with the absentee ballots.
Update: With 100 percent of precincts reporting, Murphy had 77,344 votes to
Tedisco's 77,279. Somewhere between 6,000 and 10,000 military and
absentee ballots remain uncounted, according to the Associated Press,
and overseas absentee ballots will continue be accepted until April 13.
In short, no winner will be declared any time soon.
