All in but the absentees, recount and lawsuits:
Murphy 77,344 (50.02%)
Tedesco 77,279 (49.98%)
Murphy +65
Yes, that must be it for now. Hopefully the absentee ballots will favor Murphy, but it's not a done deal.
There can't be more than 200 overseas military voters ...
Why are the absentees expected to favor Murphy?
They are assuming they are military ballots, which typically lean heavily Republican.
200 military ballots- that would mean that Tedesco would need to win by a margin of about 66-33. That's a tall order- even from the military. I am guessing it will be more like a 40 vote gain for Tedesco....making him 20 votes short..
