Apparently, there was some error in tabulating Whalen's votes in one district in Halfmoon: "Whalen picked up 100 votes when an election district in Halfmoon was shown to have been recorded as 91 votes when her actual count was 191."
I will continue to monitor.
UPDATE:
With only 700 or so absentee ballots remaining, Reilly has a 500 vote lead and so it looks like Whalen is basically done. The completion of the counting has been put off to Friday -- no explanation why.
She is already telling her kids what to say to their friends if she loses:
'It's like losing a sports event in sudden-death overtime,' she said she told her boys. 'It's pretty good to have made it this far.'There is no prize for second place.
