As of now it looks like the outcome of which party will have the majority number of State Senators is up in the air, or should we say tied with the newly created 46th District in which Democrat Cecella Tkaczk leads by 139 votes over the Republican opponent with thousands of "Absentee Ballots" to be counted.
Control of the state senate may hinge on newly elected Brooklyn Democrat State Senator Simca Felder who has said that he will caucus with the Republican side. Should Democrats regain control of the State Senate, we look for the Independent Democratic Conference to gain even more power there. State Senator Jeff Klein (head of the IDC) has said that he will note vote for a Republican to be Majority Leader, but Klein has told me that he can not support current Democratic Minority Leader John Sampson. I look for Senator Klein to either be the new Majority Leader or be the person to put that new leader in, if the Democrats win the State Senate.
It took the New York City Board of Elections months to determine the winner of a special election to replace disgraced former Brooklyn State Senator Carl Kruger. This time it looks like it is in the hands of the State Board of Elections, and we wonder just how long it will take to find out the winner of the 46th State Senate District.
