All The Outstanding Races Called In The 3+ Weeks Since The Presidential Election
Along with New York’s 19th Congressional District, the Associated Press has now also called New York’s 18th District for Democrats. This makes sense given that, like its neighbor to the north, the 18th District has had the Democrat in the lead even before all the absentee votes were counted. ABC News has not yet projected either race, however.
Today’s a big day in New York’s 22nd Congressional District, as the results of about 4,800 absentee ballots in Chenango County are set to be released. According to WBNG-TV reporter Josh Rosenblatt’s latest accounting, Tenney leads Brindisi by just 2,183 votes.
It looks like we can just about close the book on New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District. As the Garden State’s vote count continued over the past couple of weeks, Republican Tom Kean Jr. had been gaining on Democratic Rep. Tom Malinowski, which cast some lingering uncertainty over the race despite the fact that ABC News had projected Malinowski as the winner. However, Kean now trails by 1.2 percentage points and appears to have run out of rope in terms of what’s left to count. Accordingly, both The New York Times and Decision Desk HQ projected the race for Malinowski yesterday. (The Times had actually “unprojected” the contest earlier because it seemed Kean might catch Malinowski.)
