Believe it or not Hoffman can still win this race. The spread after canvassing is down to 3,000 votes and that doesn't include absentees which can come in until this Monday. Seems like a slim chance unless military and overseas were very active and went big for Hoffman.

Seems unreasonable that they would have declared a winner without the absentee votes being counted. Maybe on this whole vote counting thing, we ought to just slow down a bit. I'm not sure why they feel they have to declare a winner within 15 minutes of the poll closing.

When you read the article the real problem was the vote lead was based on calls from precincts about the vote totals and due to the confusion and chaos the numbers were wildly wrong. Had Hoffman known he was only behind by 3,000 votes he probably would not have conceded. Once he conceded Pelosi could seat the guy who promptly voted yea on the health bill monstrosity. He has still not been certified. He could be unseated shortly but I doubt there will be enough absentee votes to swing the result in an off year like this one.
