ALBANY—Now it's Tedisco by 12!

As voting machines are re-canvassed, Assembly Minority Leader Jim Tedisco has picked up 37 votes, evaporating Democrat Scott Murphy's lead in the race to replace Kirsten Gillibrand in Congress, according to county election officials who are conducting a recanvass.

Tedisco now has 77,236; Murphy has 77,224.

Tedisco trailed by 25 votes yesterday after a recanvass in Columbia County. Elections workers in Rensselaer, Dutchess, Columbia and Otsego counties looked over their tallies today.



Well Democrats are throwing their stolen election thing around:

WASHINGTON (CNN) – Congressional Democrats are hopping mad that Republicans are accusing them of trying to "steal" the special election in New York's 20th congressional district.

In a fundraising e-mail sent to supporters of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee on Friday, Democratic strategist Paul Begala called the accusation the "granddaddy of hypocrisy" and blamed the GOP for stealing the 2000 presidential election.

"The same party that stole an entire Presidential election in 2000 and is right now still trying to steal a Senate race in Minnesota just sent this outrageous e-mail to their supporters," wrote Begala, who is a CNN contributor.
