It seems that Felipe Luciano, candidate for the 8th Councilmanic District, in East Harlem, lost his bid to become Councilman. According to the lastest tally, Felipe garnered 49% of the vote versus 51% for Incumbent Councilman Philip Reed. Luciano lost by less than 225 votes out of a total of about 16,000 votes cast.
It is uncertain if Luciano plans to ask for a recount in an attempt to force a new election. Though most think that it is doubtful he would do that. Officially, no one has won yet or has been declared the winner by the Board of Elections. But it won't be too long before we find out. Stay tuned....
