Turnout and Predictions

The area newspapers are running turnout stories.   The D&C makes the obvious point that this election is all about turnout, and the Star-Gazette reports that absentee ballot returns are up in Chemung County (versus last year's local election).

Political analyst Larry Sabato has posted his final New York House predictions.  He calls all the close Western New York races for the incumbents.  On the 29th, he says, "We cannot entirely rule out an upset, and we do believe at least one of these upstate New York districts will flip, but we can't bring ourselves to wager against Kuhl."
