One-Vote Margin In Contentious Special Election

BROOKLYN — Forget Florida’s dimpled chads. Late last week, the Brooklyn Board of Elections reported David Storobin having a one-vote lead over Councilman Lew Fidler in the special election for the 27th District’s state Senate seat, and both sides are calling for a recount.
While Storobin, a lawyer and a Republican, is technically leading Fidler, a Democrat, by one vote, the election’s results will be reviewed tomorrow by a Brooklyn judge.
