The Atlantic City Press waited until almost midnight and still won't call Langford the winner. In today's print editions, they state that Langford is leading, and that he (Langford) says that his lead at the polls is insurmountable.

Why won't The Press say that Langford's lead is "insurmountable?"

Simple .. they just can't bring themselves to do it. In their own miniscule coverage, they have Scott Evans (himself) admitTing that he has 1,000 absentee ballots. Evans conceded that Langford has an absentee ballot program.

Even if you give Evans a 1,000 AB's and Langford ZERO ... Langford still wins the election.

It was a great victory for Langford. It's "Back-to-the-Future" in Atlantic City. Langford earned and deserves this sweet taste of victory. He was unjustly defeated by a criminal syndicate three years ago.

I am now officially calling for Scott Evans to resign. Evans was illegitimate from the moment the bogus and politically corrupt process that selected him in the first place.

Evans was placed in the appointed position by the now defeated Craig Callaway Atlantic City Committee members, who had a 2-year term, which now ends.

Evans should not make one more hiring. He should not participate in anything which involves taxpayers business or dollars.

Evans should not one more promotion, or, spend even one more penny.

I am predicting here and now that Evans will not resign any time soon. He may even stay until the November General Election results are certified. Thank God, that is that latest possible date that Evans can serve. In case you didn't know, Evans cannot serve past the certification of the General Election results.

However, Evans should do the right thing for once, and, step aside. Let the new Atlantic City Democratic Committee have a legal, open and honest gathering ... whereby they would nominate 3 candidates, one of them being Langford and then City Council can install the rightful Mayor of Atlantic City, within the next week or two.

The Craig Callaway era is finally over in Atlantic City. Atlantic City's 3-year political nightmare is over!

Congratulations to the citizens of Atlantic City, who have consistently sent all Callaway-backed candidates packing, whenever they have been given the opportunity to go to the polls and be heard.

Also, I was so pleased with our instant election results that we provided at HarryHurley.com. I want to thank Beth Epstein for her fabulous assistance. I was able to provide real time results. We literally owned the coverage and had the first results at every turn ... and, I was able to officially declare Langford the winner at 9:19 p.m. last night.

We had thousands of readers check in. My thanks and appreciation to a long-time, good friend, Bill Pollock ... who stayed on the phone with me for 1 1/2 straight hours, as we delivered the only election returns to the region for this pivotal contest.

Mayor Langford has granted me the first interview, which will take place later this morning on "Hurley in the Morning" ... WIBG 1020 AM radio.

Finally, I am asking you to take a moment today and read my weekly column in The Current Newspapers. Humbly, I am so proud of this column, because I wrote it last Saturday morning. I made various predictions about yesterday and filed it before Election Day itself.

These predictions have held up so well. I want to end by thanking all of my listeners and readers, who have been so loyal, as we continue our journey together in pursuit of the truth!

Thank you, again, Harry
