Charlie Rangel's Lead Over Adriano Espaillat Shrinks

Just an FYI, but Rangel should have gone home before or with Wiener.


Charlie Rangel's Lead Over Adriano Espaillat Shrinks; State Supreme Court To Hear Race Tally Issue


Representative Charlie Rangel's small lead over challenger Adriano Espaillat has gotten even smaller. The latest count shows a total of 18,075 votes for Rangel and 17,273 for Espaillat, a mere 802-vote, or 1.96 percent difference.
DNAinfo reports that total doesn't include some 3,000 paper ballots that have yet to be counted, including absentee and affidavit ballots. Those votes will be counted this Thursday, July 5th.
The Board Of Elections had declared Rangel the victor for the 13th Congressional District Tuesday night, saying Rangel had received 45 percent of the vote. It was discovered, however, that 15 percent of the precincts in the 13th--many in Washington Heights and the South Bronx where Espaillat, a Dominican, was expected to perform well-- hadn't been counted. This prompted Espaillat to reach out to the State Supreme Court, who is expected to a hold a hearing on the matter Monday afternoon.
"We want to make sure that we have an opportunity to exercise every right every candidate has, to not only observe the canvassing of ballots but to protest or challenge ballots,” Espaillat campaign attorney Martin Connor said.

I'd kind of miss Charlie. But not that much.

The guy is corrupt and 82. Get your pension and get out. A posterfogey for term limits.

Fuck Rangel, son of a bitch should be in prison....

Don't you just love democrat on democrat violence? Still I have to wonder about the brain power of the opponent when he questions the fact of voter fraud in New York City. This is the city of Tammany Hall and the democratic party. Voter fraud is just natural for them.
