Murphy leads in NY-20 by 65 votes with all precincts reporting and 154,000 votes cast. Behind for most of the night, Murphy pulled ahead with just 3 precincts left to report and held on through the end. Tedisco’s camp filed a challenge earlier in the day. Saratoga County GOP chair Jasper Nolan estimates there are 10,000 uncounted military and absentee votes yet to be counted. This race is not over yet. As we’ve mentioned before, NY-20 has a 70,000 voter Republican registration advantage. Special elections are characterized by low turnout and this win represents an especially strong vote in favor of Murphy. You can view vote counts by precinct here.
