Hey look, another Democrat won an election over a rightroots candidate.
The three week battle between Republican Jim Tedisco and Democrat Scott Murphy over a New York congressional district is heading to court today.
With all but the contested ballots counted, Murphy holds a 273-vote lead over Tedisco for the Albany-area U.S. House seat formerly held by Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand.
There are more than 1,500 disputed ballots—the majority of which challenged by the Tedisco campaign—further signaling an advantage for a Democratic victory.
