Wednesday, November 4, 2009
REPUBLICAN CHALLENGER JIM COUGHLAN HAS APPARENTLY DEFEATED DEMOCRATIC INCUMBENT DIANE JABLONSKI IN THE RACE FOR DUTCHESS COUNTY COMPTROLLER. COUGHLAN HOLDS ON TO AN 807 VOTE LEAD OUT OF NEARLY 50 THOUSAND VOTES CAST. PAPER BALLOTS COULD ALSO HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE RACE. IN THE CAMPAIGN COUGHLAN PAINTED THE INCUMBENT AS MOSTLY INVISIBLE, WITH FEW PEOPLE BEING ABLE TO NAME WHO WAS SERVING AS COUNTY COMPTROLLER.
