I’m kind of amazed that there are seventeen Republicans in the House willing to vote against the Vision Care for Kids Act of 2009. Maybe that’s why they’re struggling to win a seat from New York tonight despite a 70,000 voter registration advantage. In fact, they’re 65 votes behind after all today’s votes were counted. There are approximately 6,000 absentees and military votes to count, so the race is too close to call. Yet, in a way, they’ve already lost since it’s clear that Obama was a huge strength to the Democratic challenger.
In any case, we’re headed for recount territory and the Republicans will try to steal it. I didn’t really care who won this race but I really don’t like it when Republicans don’t respect the will of the voters.
