I am at Varian headquarters in New Rochelle (Spectators). The polls have closed and a crowd has begun to gather. The only pols here so far are County Clerk Tim Idoni, Mayor Noam Bramson and Councilman Barry Fertel.
UPDATE: County Board of Legislators Majority Leader Ken Jenkins has arrived.
UPDATE: Greg Varian arrived at 9:53 Pm to mournful hugs. Not a good sign.
News12 holding their call to 10 PM but we will call it here. Marcotte has won.
UPDATE: Idoni introduces Varian who then makes a nice speech ending with a Terminator impression, “I’ll be back”.
Uphill battle
This was a spirited race and Greg was swimming against the tide in a perfect storm. I would like to congratulate both candidates for giving their all. Ms. Marcotte will be an ally to County Executive Astorino to fulfill the mandate of bringing taxpayer burden under control and I’m sure as Greg said, he will be back.

Great job to all of you who went out to make a difference, and thanks to Talk of the Sound for the coverage.
varian dirty politics
wish I would have walked faster, missed a car plate # but could I. D. the P.O. S. that on election day, yanked out Marcotte signs on election day. Happened at the Nature Study on Webster. Your car had a distinctive mark, hope I find it. Nice Democratic strategies.
