"Bill Thompson Wants To See This Thing Through" - NY Magazine

Bil Thompson Wants to See This Thing Through

"With 99 percent of precincts reporting, de Blasio finished Tuesday with 40.3 percent. He needs 40 percent to avoid a runoff. But as Politicker notes, "according to the latest Board of Election tally, there are nearly 80,000 paper ballots yet to be counted, including absentee, military and emergency ballots filled out by voters whose names could not be found on the rolls." With a margin of error that slim, Thompson understandably wants to see this all the way through. But de Blasio is already drawing in some heavy-hitting supporters. The Clintons "kindly both called to congratulate and I asked their advice and we'll see what happens going forward," he said."
