Word just came in that the absentee ballots in Taghkanic changed the Election Day results, with Democrat Deborah Gilbert (a reporter for The Columbia Paper) winning one of two open Town Board seats. Her running mate, Jerry McAward, fell just 7 votes short.
Gilbert's win gives the Dems a 3-to-2 majority in Taghkanic, a big shift in local politics.
