Cabrera Ahead But Networks Say It's Too Close to Call

Norwood News Managing Editor Alex Kratz just checked in from Maestro's in Morris Park, where Fernando Cabrera has declared victory in his race against embattled incumbent councilwoman Maria Baez. Alex says people are beginning to leave Maestro's after a boisterous evening there.

But while cable station NY1 reports that 100% of the precints have reported results in the race, they have yet to call Cabrera as the winner, possibly because absentee and affidavit ballots might still be a factor.

Bronx News 12 also says it's too close to call, with only 90 votes separating Cabrera and Baez. however. Here's how they break out the numbers in this 3-way race.

Fernando Cabrera 38.5% 1937 votes
Maria Baez 36.7% 1847 votes
Yudelka Tapia 24.8% 1250 votes

Stay tuned.
