NY-20: Adios Tedisco . . . Almost

I know Nate Silver already handled the math this morning as it pertains to the NY-20 race but here is an update from the NY BOE:

For those of you who like it quick and dirty at Tedisco, the latest tally after Saratoga and Washington has Murphy by 86 votes.

All that is left it looks like is some counting left to do of absentees in Dutchess, Warren and Columbia (all Murphy counties on election night and in the absentees thus far) plus a small amount of military and overseas ballots in Columbia, Dutchess, Essex and Rensselear (all Murphy counties again on election day except Rensselear where Murphy has won in the absentee count so far anyway).

With an overwhelming majority of challenged ballots being from the Tedisco campaign and NOT included in these numbers, the math is looking awfully difficult now for Tedisco.  It looks like Murphy will finish the paper ballot count ~100 votes ahead.  Barring a judicial catastrophe I dont see how Murphy loses this one.
