The race for NYC Council in Queens pitting Orthodox-Jewish Pesach Osina against African-American Donovan Richards is too close to call. With 100% of the UNOFFICIAL votes in Mr. Richards leads Mr. Osina by only 26 votes by a margin of 2513 to 2487. YWN can exclusively report that there are over 500 absentee ballots that the Board of Elections must open and count before the race can be decided.

In short, this race is too close to call and likely won’t be decided for a few more weeks.
