Conservative Doug Hoffman conceded the race in the 23rd Congressional District last week after receiving two pieces of grim news for his campaign: He was down 5,335 votes with 93 percent of the vote counted on election night…
Now a recanvassing in the 11-county district shows that Owens’ lead has narrowed to 3,026 votes over Hoffman, 66,698 to 63,672, according to the latest unofficial results from the state Board of Elections.
Outrageous! The fact that the numbers are moving in Hoffman’s favor during the standard process of recanvassing is clear evidence that the Republicans are stealing this election. Or, at least, that was the Republican party line during the Franken-Coleman recount a year ago. It’s funny that conservative partisans don’t seem to have a problem with the recanvassing process this time. In fact, they’re now encouraging Hoffman to “un-concede.” I guess it makes a big difference when the numbers are moving in the right direction.
Hmmm, sounds of crickets.
I think the LIBERALS along withACORN is stealing or stole this election! CORRUPTION- Democrats middle name!

I'm taking bets on how long it will be before the sorry-ass right-wing move: Steal this, flip the recipient, and try to pass it off as original. Practically every witty sound bite you hear from either side, originated from the left ("Facts are stubborn things", "You're entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts", etc.)
If Hoffman conceded, why can he change his mind?
Re: PSch: is there a thing on this forum, asking if the registrant is over 13?
Hoffman lost ground in his own stronghold:
In what could be a bad sign for the Hoffman campaign, the Lake Placid accountant ended up with a net loss of 23 votes to Owens after absentee ballots were counted Tuesday in Madison County – one of Hoffman’s strongholds. (Hoffman still won the county, 9,155 to 8,290 over Owens.)
