Rep. Claudia Tenney
When the polls closed Nov. 3
rd, Rep. Claudia Tenney of New York’s 22
nd congressional district enjoyed what looked like an insurmountable lead of 28,422 votes over her Democratic challenger, Anthony Brindisi.
But a funny thing happened to the outspoken conservative on her way back to Washington: Despite the election night results, Tenney’s victory would not be certified until early February, making it the last race to be decided in the 2020 election cycle. By then, Tenney’s lead had been whittled down to 109 votes. The lead changed so many times that a political scientist dubbed the post-election night contest “a Ping Pong match.”
30th Republican Woman Could Join House as Judge Rules Claudia Tenney Winner in Disputed Race

New York Republican Claudia Tenney was declared the winner of the election for her district s Congressional seat more than 90 days after ballots were cast. Tenney is in position to potentially become the 30th Republican woman in the House, a record number for the GOP.
Tenney ran against Democrat Anthony Brindisi in November s election. Tenney s apparent early lead dwindled from approximately 28,000 votes right after the election to roughly 12 votes after absentee votes were counted. After the validity of some ballots was called into question and voting districts were canvassed, New York State Supreme Court Justice Scott DelConte said Friday that all valid votes had been tabulated. Despite its name, the New York Supreme Court is not the state s highest court, but a trial court. New York s highest court is the Court of Appeals.
