    What's your number?
    I was #93 at 3pm. (at P.S.9)

    I just got back home from voting at the school on St. Marks between Grand and Classon (off-topic: the lady in the blue dress who's in charge of the election volunteers there is one of my coworkers, and she's awesome -- didn't know she lived here in the neighborhood!). Right now it's not too bad; only one person was in the booth ahead of me. Saw SJE on my way out too. Brooklynian, represent!

    NY-1's (television) coverage of the election returns has been excellent tonight.

    Holy cow:
    Assembly District 57
    Hakeem Jeffries [Dem] 181 65.82%
    William R. Batson [Dem] 49 17.82%
    Freddie Hamilton [Dem] 45 16.36%

    Reporting: 7 of 110 precincts - 6.36 percent
    So that's not many precincts yet, but that's already a BIG margin.

    That's a pretty low percent of returns in so far, though. It could swing big later.

    Incidentally, there's more good coverage at the NY Times feature "The Empire Zone":

    As I exited the B/Q station at 8:30, The people bodily obstructing the exit were heard saying, "There's still time! Vote against Atlantic Yards! Vote for Yassky!"

    Okay, 20% of the precincts reporting now, and the margin's only changed a tiny bit:
    Assembly District 57
    Hakeem Jeffries [Dem] 883 62.18%
    William R. Batson [Dem] 342 24.08%
    Freddie Hamilton [Dem] 195 13.73%
    Reporting: 22 of 110 precincts - 20.00 percent
    Also:
    House District 11
    David S. Yassky [Dem] 3520 33.73%
    Yvette D. Clarke [Dem] 2577 24.70%
    Carl Andrews [Dem] 2211 21.19%
    Chris Owens [Dem] 2127 20.38%
    Reporting: 117 of 523 precincts - 22.37 percent
    Wow, Yvette Clarke getting almost a quarter of the votes even after that whole, "Oops, I didn't REALLY graduate from college!" thing?

    And it looks like Edolphus Towns has won again.

    As a completely infantile addition to this conversation, is anyone else watching NY1 right now? Mark Green's daughter is ridiculously hot. :oops: Sorry, I just had to add that. :wink:

    So it looks like the race for the Senate in September will be between Hillary Clinton and John Spencer.

    Well, she'll be in good company in the US Congress. It's not exactly a place that's brimming with knowledge, expertise, or integrity. She'll fit right in.

    Can't say I'm that disappointed... Clarke would like to have had my vote, whereas Yassky clearly states he wouldn't want it.

    My friend worked with her when she was in 1199. He described her as "a lazy hack with powerful political connections in the union. Aside from sleeping at her desk and running the Youth Mentoring Summer program into the hole by $80,000 dollars in 1993, she was a fine administrator".

    it's unending - jeffries was at the EP 2/3 this AM thanking people for his vote. methinks he was up late partying - his eyes were vaguely glazed and bloodshot.

    I dunno -- he kind of looks like that on his posters too.
