Oneida County's two election commissioners have announced they are stepping down after numerous issues were discovered during the court battle over the 22nd Congressional District race.
Republican Claudia Tenney narrowly beat incumbent Democrat Anthony Brindisi, but it took three months of litigation before results were certified. Tenney's victory was certified just in the past two weeks.
The judge overseeing the case cited several problems with the Oneida County Board of Elections, including a failure to process many registration forms that were submitted by the deadline.
