It is being reported that Anthony Como has won the Special Election for the 30th Council District by 74 votes.
Como By 70 In 30th CD (Updated)
With 100 percent of the vote in, it appears the Republicans have just barely managed to hold on to the 30th CD seat that used to belong to former Councilman Dennis Gallagher, maintaining their three-member conference.
The unofficial results, according to the city Board of Elections, are as follows:
Anthony Como: 2,352, 31.71 percent.
Elizabeth Crowley: 2,282, 30.77 percent.
Thomas Ognibene: 2,031, 27.38 percent.
Charles Ober: 752, 10.14
UPDATE: There are 196 valid absentee ballots so far, according to board spokeswoman Valerie Vasquez-Rivera, and they can be received by the board up until next Tuesday.
So much for the idea that having once held a seat gives you an edge in trying to get it back, not to mention the clout (or lack thereof) of The Times endorsement in the 30th.
It's also, one might argue, a triumph of the establishment over independence. Both Crowley and Como were endorsed by their respective county party committees.

I wonder if Tom Ognibene's support from Vito Fossella hurt him? After all his Alumni Affairs were well known!
Ognibene came in fourth
1 Como
2 Crowley
3 Ognibene's Ego
4 Ognibene
Ognibene may have to get Holden to pay for a free trip now
This race reminds me of great Prize fighters They are great in their time and never realize when tocall it a DAY!
Ognibene was washed up after he lost his judgeship because of Bribery allegations.
His ego keeps telling him he matters, when he doesn't
Tom needs no help with the minority vote he has that covered by himself
Maybe Crowley and Ognibene can mate so we can have a good looking child with a brain.
Hey JPCA 2 candidates supported and they came in next to last and dead last lol your so Fing useless!
Biggest Loser for this election Forest Park Golf Course... Ognibene will have even more time to spen there
Erik Uhlrich the wonderboy his Star just crashed, Como is sure to make sure he runs a candidate against him one with money and a name!
How I knew Ognibene was a loser: He made Ulrich campaign manager. What a joke.
Not so savvy Ulrich going around telling everyone that Ognibene had it in a bag. I could picture him shedding tears in Holden's lap.
Ramon
The biggest loser in this is still DENNIS P. GALLAGHER.
Tom Ognibene should change his name to Tom Petty.
"Tom Ognibene should change his name to Tom Petty."
- thanks for the laugh
More like "Tom Petty Thief" ....
Its funny how they turned off the blog on Queens Crap because people were blogging about what idiots the JPCA are.
You have to read the article saying how their VP (Aunt Larraine) wasn't going to be intimidated by Como supporters.
IS she kidding? They were probably laughing at her....
I've been to a JPCA meeting. I think I was the only person there not wearing adult diapers...
