WPCNR COUNTY CLARION-LEDGER. By John F. Bailey. September 18, 2002: After five hours behind closed doors at the Board of Elections on Quarropas Street examining Absentee Ballots and Affidavit Ballots, representatives from the Naomi Matusow and Adam Bradley candidacies and Ms. Matusow and Mr. Bradley sat down in an enclosed glass room to count just the White Plains ballots that had been accepted for counting.

At the end of 35 minutes, Mr. Bradley emerged from the counting at 4:45 PM Wednesday to announce he had a net gain of 12 votes, winning 22 votes, with Matusow gaining 10 and 3 being questioned, extending his lead to 35 votes.
Unofficially, this brings Mr. Bradley's vote total to 2,716 to Assemblywoman Naomi Matusow's, 2,681. The figures are from the Bradley campaign.
The counting of absentee ballots from Harrison, New Castle, Lewisboro, Pound Ridge, North Castle and Bedford will resume at 10:00 A.M. Thursday morning at the Board of Elections. According to Bradley number cruncher, Tim James there are 38 more absentee ballots and 10 affidavitt ballots left to be counted beginning tomorrow.
Tom Roach, who was watching the numbers with WPCNR most of Thursday afternoon, and speculating with us, after listening to Mr. James, calculated that the Bradley "Magic Number" is 8. He needs 8 votes out of the remaining 48 to get a majority of 3 votes.
