WPCNR CAMPAIGN 2009. By John F. Bailey. November  4, 2009: Elizabeth Schollenberger, Chairperson of the Democratic City Committee reports to WPCNR late this afternoon,  that the Democratic City Committee tally of registered voters who voted across all 43 White Plains Election Districts on  Election Day was 10,468, making Adam Bradley the winner of the election simply based on the numbers of votes write-in candidate Glen Hockley could expect to receive.

Write-in votes for Mr. Hockley will be tallied beginning Monday when the Board of Elections recanvass begins.  Bradley with 7,759 votes at this hour has taken 75% of the unofficial vote total from all White Plains districts.

Schollenberger said that Democratic Mayoral Candidate Adam Bradley has unofficially been reported by the Board of Elections to have received 7,759 of those votes,meaning that write-in candidate Glen Hockley cannot make up the difference. The maximum Hockley could receive if all 2,709 voters remaining after deducting Mr. Bradley’s unofficial vote count pending  the Monday recanvass of voting machines and absentee ballots would be 2,709 plus a few hundred votes, some 4,000 votes short of the Bradley total.

Unofficially, Mr. Bradley wins the 2009 Mayor’s race on the numbers of registered voters who voted.

The total of 10,468 voters  was culled by Democratic observers at the polling places and telephoned in and tallied, and compared against the list of registered voters, according to Councilman Dennis Power. This is what both parties in White Plains have done since 1987.  

Power said the comparison of  those who voted to Bradley vote totals were the basis of his report at Asian Temptation, where the Bradley Election Night Festivities were taking place,  when he said write-in challenger Glen Hockley was probably receiving 10 to 25% of the vote.

Power told WPCNR, the analysis was done at  Democratic Headquarters at One North Broadway.  Bradley analysts compared Mr. Bradley’s unofficial totals coming from the Board of Elections, and compared it to the overall reports by  election district how many persons had voted.  Power noted they estimated that Mr. Hockley was receiving 20 to 25% of the vote based on comparisons of total voters who voted in each  district compared to Bradley votes cast in each district.
