The unofficial results of last week's NY-20 Congressional race after machine recanvassing
is a tie -- Murphy 77225, Tedisco 77225. There's some
caviling over this, but it doesn't matter -- the paper ballots, domestic and imported, are still to be examined, pending a
court challenge -- surely not the last of this race, if the current
state of play on close elections is anything to go by. Meanwhile former Congressman from the district
John Sweeney racked up his second DWI -- only mildly relevant but still pretty funny.
True to form among legislators past and present, Sweeney asked the arresting troopers if they knew who he was.
