Finally, Yossi Concedes He Don't Know Yet

After making an unsubstantiated claim that there was a sea-change in regards to the Williamsburg established voting power, and after I publicly asked him for the numbers, Yossi conceded today that he doesn't know yet the results and to pass judgement, one have to wait for the final absentee and affidavit result. (i.e. Current, preliminary numbers are way off from what he gave...)

"The Board of Elections in NYC still has many hundreds or perhaps thousands of ballots that need to be counted in New York’s Seventh Congressional District, as is the case with other congressional districts.

The BOE is counting this week the affidavits that many hundred voters, certainly Hasidic voters, have signed on Election Day. Next week, the BOE will count the absentee ballots that were submitted in the lead-up to the election. The outcome of the affidavits and absentee counts will be followed closely from the campaign bunkers of NYC to the spacious offices in Albany: Elected officials; politicians; campaign operatives, strategists, lobbyists and journalists will all want to see the full outcome of the NY7 election to have a better and perhaps accurate picture how strong or how weak of a political change the Hasidic Williamsburg has gone through during this last elections," Yossi writes today.

My sources are telling me that the NY Times will not wait for the final results, and I suspect that this may be a factor for Yoosi's breaking his silence.

Anyhow as a result of his explanation, I suspended my timer that clocked how long it will take him to respond. I expect to see a follow-up when the final BOE numbers are published.
