Please stay posted here for more Green election victories to be posted in the following days.

In Albany, David Lussier is winning on the Green Party line. Evidently, after the machine vote, Lussier has a 5 vote lead over his opponent, Brian Scavo. Lussier’s campaign was told that the paper and absentee ballots would be counted on Wednesday. (Word from a green list-serve is that David Lussier did have a campaign plan where he appealed to absentee voters.)

*Update 11/15/2007: David Lussier lost by only 11 votes on the recount.

Also, green Allan Brison won for Alderman in New Haven, CT.

And, another green win in CT:

>From Michael Westerfield:

Connecticut Green Party member and co-chair Jean deSmet won the
 election for First Selectman of the Town of Windham, Connecticut...
AT 9:30 with all voting districts reporting
and absentee ballots counted, Jean was 120 votes ahead
of the Democratic candidate and very far ahead of the Republican.

And, I realized California is 3 hours behind. So, should be more results in the morning.

Go greens!
