The Board of Elections has counted all the holdover votes that being the affidavit and absentee ballots and there are preliminary numbers that show Congressman Rangel's lead increased to 990 votes.
The total unofficial breakdown of the 42,718 votes is as follows. Charlie Rangel - 18,940, Adriano Espaillat - 17,950, Clyde Williams - 4,227, Joyce Johnson - 1,009, and Craig Schley - 592. Since the lead between the first and second place finisher is less than 5 percent of the total vote there is no automatic recount by the Board of Elections.
The results for the 13th C.D. is scheduled to be made official at Tuesdays meeting of the commissioners of the board. A scheduled Wednesday court date will be the last chance for Senator Espaillat to try to over tun the election.
