Note that a major outstanding accumulate of votes is in St. Lawrence County, where Owens has finished very good all evening. There are additionally a goodly commission of a opinion left in Lewis County, where Hoffman leads 52-43, though there just aren't that many electorate there.

Most of a 5,800 or so absentee ballots throughout a district additionally haven't been counted; we don't know who that favors. But it looks to me like Hoffman is going to tumble serve behind when a rest of St. Lawrence comes in (which may not be until tomorrow; they've had some appurtenance problems there) and a absentees -- of that Scozzafava will have a decent share -- won't be enough to assistance him.

With mucho caveats, as always. I'm just a single guy here perplexing to cover 7 elections during once and call 'em as we see 'em in real time.

EDIT: For instance, Watertown is not in St. Lawrence County, as we previously reported. Hence, a caveatting.

UPDATE: Fox News has called it for Owens.

UPDATE: There's been some difficulty about a number of absentee ballots in a district. 10,000 were sent out, though 5,800 were returned.
