Paterson "Bombshell" Just PG-13?
We have our own protracted election drama in the city: The Board of Elections is still counting ballots in the State Senate race between incumbent Frank Padavan (R) and City Councilman James Gennaro (D). Padavan leads by over 500 votes now, but now over 8,000 absentee and emergency paper ballots are being tallied amid charges from the Democratic Party like how the Republicans are only challenging votes of minority voters. (A judge will eventually decided what happens with the ballot.) Well, at least our BOE doesn't have to deal with the Senate recount in Minnesota--they use Scantron-style voting forms and some voters were messy-- or wrote in "Lizard People" while still filling in a circle for Al Franken. See the zany ballots here.

Just make sure Tim Robbins stays the hell away.
Yeah. Welcome to Barack HUSSEIN Obama's Amerikkka!!!
The Democrats are using their usual charges of racism however unfounded. there are equal number of Democrats and Republicans doing the count at the BOE. Both sides must agree or an arbiter needs to make a decision on whether a ballot can be counted. Many of the ballots are from voters who are registered in other districts but did not write their District. As Americans we have the right to vote but only once.
