13th Congressional Race UPDATE



       As of Friday June 29th this is the 13th District Democratic Primary results. Mind you that only 94% of the polling precincts  have been accounted for. The missing precincts are said to be from Washington Heights and part of the Bronx where candidate Espaillat is to have gotten a large percentage of the vote. With the difference of just over 1,000 votes between the top two candidates with almost 3,000 votes still to be counted we could be seeing an election similar to the recent special election in the 27th State Senate District.



  UPDATE----
   The Manhattan Supreme Court will be holding a hearing on the results of 13th Congressional race. It is also possible that there will be calls for the Justice Department to take up the issue of if Latino voter weren't disenfranchised.
