Murphy, Tedisco now in dead tie

Tedisco to step down as minority leader until a winner is determined

The Associated Press

20th DISTRICT — An already close race in the 20th Congressional District just got as close as it can possibly get: The state Board of Elections says the candidates are separated by zero votes.

As of Friday, Republican Jim Tedisco and Democrat Scott Murphy are tied with 77,225 votes each.

They’re running to replace Kirsten Gillibrand, who was appointed to the U.S. Senate.

The race will come down to absentee votes, with the elections board reporting 3,000 ballots returned so far from Republicans and about 2,200 from Democrats.

Party registration doesn’t guarantee a vote. Most absentee ballots won’t be counted until April 7. Overseas ballots can be returned until April 13.

Counties also have 940 ballots back from absentee voters not registered as Republican or Democrat.

Also Friday, Tedisco announced that he will step down next week as minority leader in the state Assembly while he waits to find out whether he’s won the race for Congress.

Until the election results are final, Tedisco will continue to represent his upstate Assembly district, which includes parts of Schenectady and Saratoga counties.

He was first elected to the Assembly in 1982 and has been the leader of its Republican minority since 2005.
