"Three More Weeks:" Thompson Vows to Fight on as Absentee Votes are Counted

TWU Local 100's endorsed candidate for Mayor, Bill Thompson, led a crowded ballroom at the Eventi Hotel in midtown in chants of "three more weeks" as election night numbers revealed a cliffhanger as to his runoff chances. It will take a few days for the Board of Elections to figure out if Thompson's tally will force front-runner de Blasio into a runoff. If that happens, it'll take place on October 1. For now it's a wait-and-see. Behind Thompson is State Senator Jose Peralta, a key ally of TWU Local 100.
