Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton landed a convincing win in New York's Democratic presidential primary Tuesday, but polls in Putnam County may offer a moral victory for her rival, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.
Sanders supporters had a large ground presence in the Hudson Valley leading up to the primary vote, which paid off with a narrow win in Putnam.
Clinton won the rest of the Hudson Valley.
Kati Mac, an award-winning singer-songwriter and music professor from Carmel, was Sanders' unofficial campaign coordinator in Putnam County, she says.
Her group, which included volunteers who traveled to the area from Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont and Connecticut, was likely behind the win.
But the results might not yet be finalized.
The Board of Elections says there are around 600 absentee ballots that won't be counted until next week.
