<description><![CDATA[ (Apr 29, 2009) Glens Falls businessman Scott Murphy will be sworn in this afternoon as New York’s newest Congressman.  The Democrat won a razor-thin victory in March, in a special election to replace Kirsten Gillibrand, who was appointed to the US Senate. New York’s 20th congressional district stretches from Poughkeepsie in the Hudson Valley to Saranac Lake in the Adirondacks.  Murphy is a newcomer to politics, but he managed to beat veteran Assemblyman Jim Tedisco, a Republican from Schenectady.  As Murphy prepared to head to Washington for today’s ceremony, he spoke with Brian Mann.

<title>Tedisco, Murphy race enters a process that could take months</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/13356/20090415/tedisco-murphy-race-enters-a-process-that-could-take-months</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Apr 15, 2009) State election officials say Democrat Scott Murphy leads the 20th district election by 47 votes. But as the ballot recount continues, Republicans in the district are trying to disqualify hundreds of ballots, including the vote cast by Senator Kirsten Gillibrand.  Gillibrand held the House seat until January, when she was appointed to the US Senate. In a statement released last night, Gillibrand called the challenge &quot;frivolous&quot; and &quot;dishonest.&quot; Republican Jim Tedisco has argued that too many second homeowners, many of them living in New York City, voted inappropriately in the election. In a statement issued last night, Tedisco&apos;s attorney, Jim Walsh, said that a judge should disqualify those votes. &quot;We will continue to make the case that the ballots of hundreds of New York City voters should not be deciding this election,&quot; Walsh wrote.  But Robert Brehm with the New York State Board of Elections, says the courts haven&apos;t restricted voting by snowbird residents and second homeowners in the past.  Brehm spoke yesterday with Brian Mann about the ballot-counting process.  He says the system works slowly, but will eventually produce a clear result.
