As the day wears on, more and more it seems like Tedisco is getting negative press.

Take this, for instance: Tedisco is reported to be text messaging people in Schenectady County, urging them to vote. Here’s a map of the 20th C.D. Unfortunately, Schenectady is not in the 20th.

And many in Schenectady who want to vote for him are being turned away. Unfortunately for Tedisco, the New York Assembly Minority Leader, his district in the New York Assembly and the district he hopes to win today, are not made up by the same geography. In fact, Tedisco can’t even vote for himself: like many of his supporters, he lives in Schenectady. He plans to move to the 20th Congressional District only if he wins today.

National Republicans are also not getting their hopes up, as Republican House leader John Boehner called NY-20 a “Democrat seat” (it had been a solidly Republican seat until Gillibrand won it two years ago).

As for Murphy, he has been riding a wave of positive press in recent days — closing the gap in polls and getting attention from national Democrats.
