NY#22 still counting votes 50 days after the election, Dem leads 0.00004%
New York Congressional District Rep. Anthony Brindisi took a lead of fourteen votes over his Republican challenger Claudia Tenney, who held the lead all along. The next hearing will likely take place on January 4. Hundreds of votes still remain uncounted.
Three dead people can’t be counted, but there was confusion over it since they voted and then died. Under New York election law, an early ballot doesn’t count if the voter dies before the election.
“You need to be a registered voter to vote, and upon death, you cease to be registered,” Madison County Election Commissioner Laura Costello said.
