TheGreenPapers.com NY CD 23 Special Election uncallable at this hour; voting machines in one county impounded by court order
by Richard E. Berg-Andersson: 'The Green Papers'

The Special Election in NEW YORK's 23rd Congressional District remains uncallable at this hour due to voting machine malfunctions earlier today in Fulton County, one of 11 counties wholly or partially in the District. The voting machines in question have been impounded by court order; meanwhile, election officials were forced to switch to paper ballots which will not be counted until absentee ballots are also counted next week. With the race between Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman and Democratic Party nominee Bill Owens tightening as more returns come in as the evening wears on, this race remains too close to call.

Update Wednesday at 12:32A EST: Over 11,000 absentee ballots have yet to be counted.
