  ALBANY — After the meeting of New York’s Electoral College delegates that several of the participating Democrats described as “bittersweet,” former president Bill Clinton expressed pride in his wife and pointed fingers at the FBI and Russian email hackers.
  “I’ve never cast a vote I was prouder of,” Clinton said in the Capitol hallways after the vote. “I’ve watched her for two years, I watched her battle through the bogus email deal, be vindicated at the end. … She fought through that, she fought through everything, she prevailed amidst it all, but at the end we had the Russians and the FBI deal, but she couldn’t prevail against that. But she did everything else and still won by 2.8 million votes. I’m very proud of her.”
  When asked if he thought there should be an investigation into the election, Clinton replied: “The finest vote counter in America is Nate Silver. He told you what cost her the election.”
  Silver has said that Hillary Clinton would have likely won the election if not for a letter in which FBI director James Comey said he was reviewing a newly discovered batch of emails from her private email server.
  This year’s meeting lasted only an hour, and all of New York’s 29 votes went to Clinton and running mate Tim Kaine. Outside of a speech praising the former first family from Gov. Andrew Cuomo and a long standing ovation for Bill, little of what happened could be seen as celebratory.
  “There was a bittersweetness, you could say — all the electors at this college convening elected Hillary Clinton, and obviously she’s not going to be the next president of the United States, so that’s sad,” Cuomo said after the vote. “Having President Bill Clinton in the room was also bittersweet. I respect him tremendously for coming up, it couldn’t be easy for him to go through this proceeding, to see the Electoral College elect his wife but to know that there’s a different outcome for the nation. He was very gracious, he was very kind, he was in good spirits, and if he had to go through this anywhere, I’m glad he went through it in New York.”
  New York City Public Advocate Tish James similarly said it was “very tough” to cast her vote. She, like Cuomo, criticized the use of the Electoral College to elect presidents.
  “The reality is, she won — she won,” James said. “Hillary Clinton, we love you, we love you dearly. New York did it for you.”
  State Senate Minority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins said New Yorkers should be inspired by Clinton’s candidacy.
  “We have a lot of work that we have to do as women and there are still tremendous glass ceilings to break, and everyone should continue to work as hard as they can and go as high as they can because we will break those ceilings,” Stewart-Cousins said. “So be inspired by someone who has stood up time and time again for working families, fighting for women, fighting for children, and use that as a role model and a catalyst. We will be able to make good things happen as women.”
  None of the speakers at the gathering mentioned President-elect Donald Trump. But the delegates did take a symbolic jab against one of his campaign talking points.
  Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie moved to donate the delegates’ compensation – $15 per delegate, or a total of $435, plus travel expenses – to the New York Immigration Coalition, “which assists to bring men, women and children wishing to make the United States their home.”

  After being brought through the youth system at Vale Park, Boot has started a run of games and has done well during those opportunities.
  Speaking to the local media from yesterday's press conference, the 23-year old hopes to keep hold of his number one jersey for the rest of the campaign.
  “Hopefully it will be until whenever, I want it to be my shirt. Similar to everyone else who wants a shirt in their position.
  After coming through Derby County and Stoke City beforehand, Boot joined the Valiants several years ago where his main aim was to take claim of the number one jersey.
  “I came through the academy and youth team, it’s what I’ve worked for. I’ve always wanted to work for the first-team and get the shirt.
  With the game fast approaching and Vale needing to bounce back from the 4-0 loss against Mansfield Town, the 23-year old believes that no matter who the opponent – every game is tough in League Two.
