The race for Rensselaer County
District Attorney will go to absentee ballots.
According to unofficial results
from the Board of Elections, Republican Joel Abelove ended the night with 50.36
percent or 21,857 votes to Democrat Carmelo Laquidara’s 49.58 percent or 21,518
votes.

There were about 2,700 absentee ballots
issued and 1,814 were returned to the BOE.
The re-canvass of machine votes
generally takes place the day following the election. It’s unclear when the two
sides will sit down and go through the arduous process of counting the absentee
ballots.
The two are vying for the seat
vacated when Rich McNally was sworn in as a Supreme Court judge on Jan. 1.
This was a good race. It shows that the Dems with a good canidate can win. Mahar is toast if he runs next year.
ReplyDeleteMcInerney and I quote "I can fix this".
ReplyDeleteThe only difference between McInerney and Rich Crist is a DNA swab.
DeleteJust hand the ballots over to McDonough and Galumpski, they know how to pick a winner.
ReplyDeleteThanks McCashion. Sucks being irrelevant, doesn't it.
DeleteMcInerney could easily hand in 3 to 4 hundred, he's admitted he's done it a few times.
DeleteMcInerney is the biggest Rich Chris wanta be there ever was. Kills him to see all of Rich's successes legal successes that is. Alls Mac can do is hang around his buddy Kevin McGrath waiting for John Brown to get home so then the "old gang" will be back together.
DeleteAbsentee ballots? Rut row Scoobie.
ReplyDeleteIt's not too close to call. Alelove won.
ReplyDeleteDid Wade's people win anything? The only democratic winner was Meier, who he has dissed in the past. The rest of his candidates went down in flames. Cuomo did not carry Rensselaer County. It is time for Wade to move on!
ReplyDeleteThis was a close race so the Republicans think that Mahar can win next year. I don't think so.
ReplyDeleteWell after the first of January Gary Gordon will have a lot of time to map out his campaign strategy. By the way, thank God Carm wasn't elected, they f*cked up the Lockrow prosecution. Are all dems incompetent?
DeleteGary Gordon made a absolute fool out of himself when he ran for Sheriff. Hope Abelove throws his monkey ass out beginning the new year. Run again for Sheriff Gary and you will be 0-2.
DeleteGary Gordon is MY Sheriff!
DeleteDooooooooooooooosh
Mahar is a joke and the Republicans better find someone else to run
DeleteBoth men are good people. Too bad there can be only one.
ReplyDeleteI agree, it was a tough choice to make. For once both candidates were not only qualified, but competent enough to hang in for the long haul.
DeleteI really do hope Carmelo wins. He's done an amazing job since he took the helm. He's got the experience and the determination to turn that office around.
ReplyDelete9:27 AM is right; time to stop the bleeding and the losses; Wade needs to GO!
ReplyDeleteCome on Pat throw your hat into the race and take out Mahar
ReplyDeleteNow we have a dozen great ADA's distracted over whether they'll have a job in January. Let's hope Joel does the right thing and makes an effort to bring some sense of peace to the current staff so they can continue to do one of the most difficult jobs in the legal system.
ReplyDeleteWhy will they be distracted? They won't have a job in January. Suck it up and move on like we all did at transition time.
DeletePack a box suckah.
