NY 22nd U.S. House Seat Election Still Being Counted


The Republican Candidate in the New York 22nd District U.S. House race added to her Lead Friday after a Newly Discovered Error Produced Hundreds of Eligible Uncounted Ballots.

Claudia Tenney (R) leads Incumbent Anthony Brindisi (D) by 122 Votes, up from 29 Votes, after, a Mistake by County Elections Staff, was discovered.

State Supreme Court Justice, Scott DelConte, recently learned of a Mistake by Oneida County Elections Staff in which more than 2,400 People registered to Vote on Time at the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) but the staff Failed to Process their Applications, meaning that those Voters would have been Told they weren’t Registered on Election Day.

This Error prompted DelConte to Order a Review of 1,100 Affidavit Ballots that were potentially, from Voters who Applied on Time, but did Not have their Applications Processed, and it was determined that 393 of those Votes belonged to Voters who Registered on Time.

Brindisi received 139 of the New Votes, and Tenney received 232 Votes. Two New Votes went to a Third-Party Candidate, Keith Price, and 20 were Not Added to the Tally because they were Challenged by Campaign Representatives for various reasons.

The Razor-Thin House Race is the Last Unresolved Race from the November Election in the Country, and both Sides have launched Challenges and Appeals since the Election ended.

Brindisi’s Team has already Appealed the Judge’s Decision to Allow the New Votes.
