There is NO way that Hoffman will end up with more votes than Owens!
Hoffman and Beck are delusional.

1. NY-23: Absentees (Still) Point to a Democratic Win
By David Weigel 11/16/09 5:54 PM

I see that Doug Hoffman has “un-conceded” in the NY-23 special election after some prodding from Glenn Beck. Unfortunately for the Conservative Party candidate, the absentee ballot count so far points to a victory for Rep. Bill Owens (D-N.Y.). The key problem for Hoffman: Dede Scozzafava, the Republican candidate who was forced out of the race, is winning around one in five absentee ballots so far; she only won one in twenty ballots on election day.

The Watertown Daily Times has the more-or-less final results of the election before absentee ballots were counted. The conservative Gouverneur Times has those results plus the final totals of three counties — three of the seven counties carried by Hoffman on election night — with absentees tallied up ...

But the total picture from this batch of 1,465 absentee ballots is ... a net 225 votes for Hoffman, who’s down by 2,951 votes with 6,123 left to count. It’s simply not the kind of ratio that will deliver victory. If the numbers keep breaking this way, it would point an Owens win of around 2000 votes. But keep in mind, we don’t have absentees yet in the huge Owens counties of Clinton and St. Lawrence.

It's moot anyway. Hoffman conceded three weeks ago, and Owens has been sworn into Congress

3. Any court fight will die as quickly as the suit over Bilbray-Busby in CA-50 did

6. 10,000 votes left
Glenn Beck says "still 10,000 eh?". He probably said to himself..."Ah, we are still using that 10,000 number". I am sure they will be using that number until the very end in order to keep the hope alive that the fringe right didn't cause their "sure thing" to lose. I think that the reality is that it is much lower than 10,000, but these lying scum have no problem at all at making up numbers. I haven't checked the numbers, but that is the trend. They probably hope that they can convince their scummy little followers that he should be the victor, regardless of the actual number of votes.

7. Article from Friday regarding the remaining absentee ballots....
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 2009

Quote:

Mr. Owens has garnered 68,963 votes, according to the most recent unofficial results in the 11-county district, and leads Mr. Hoffman by 3,176 votes. There are at least 7,178 absentee ballots districtwide that have been received by elections officials and will be opened Tuesday (November 17th). That count likely will take at least three days.

UnQuote.
