Chenango County Attorney Alan Gordon announced in a letter Tuesday that the county’s elections board discovered 55 uncounted early voting ballots for New York’s 22nd Congressional District race, where only 12 votes separate the two candidates.

The early voting ballots were not previously canvassed and board of elections commissioners determined that 44 of the ballots were countable while 11 were submitted by unregistered voters, Gordon said in the letter addressed to state Supreme Court Justice Scott DelConte.

WOW: An attorney from Chenango County drops a bombshell with the court-- 55 uncounted early votes were just found, having never been seen before.

In a congressional race separated by just 12 votes, these newly discovered early votes could make the difference #NY22 @WBNG12News

DelConte ordered the eight counties within the congressional district to submit an updated count to the court Monday. The final tally indicated that Republican congressional candidate Claudia Tenney — who served as the district’s congresswoman between 2017 and 2019 — earned 155,492 votes and incumbent Democratic Rep. Anthony Brindisi earned 155,480 votes, WBNG reported.

Chenango County Elections Commissioner Carol Franklin told local news that all of the newly discovered ballots were affidavit ballots submitted during the state’s early voting period and had no explanation for why they were not counted.

The remaining 44 ballots could potentially wipe out Tenney’s razor-thin lead but DelConte is expected to rule on more than 2,000 additional disputed absentee and affidavit ballots for the congressional race, according to the Associated Press. Tenney initially held a 29,000 vote lead over Brindisi on Election Day but mail-in ballots gradually dissipated her advantage.

Gordon advised the elections board not to open the 44 countable ballots and keep them secured in their offices. “I am looking for direction from the Court on how to proceed with the canvassing of these additional votes,” he wrote in the letter.

NY-22: Inside the legal battle over StickyGate and recently discovered ballots

John Sexton Posted at 1:00 pm on December 3, 2020

We’re a month out from election day and there are two undecided House races left in the country. One of them, as I pointed out yesterday, has been certified with the GOP candidate winning by 6 votes. The Democrat in that race has announced she will appeal directly to the U.S. House of Representatives which can choose to investigate and review the outcome and ultimately decide who will get the seat.

The other undecided race is NY-22 where final tallies from all counties show GOP candidate Claudia Tenney with a 12-vote lead over incumbent Democratic Rep. Anthony Brindisi. However, this race is currently involved in a legal battle with both sides arguing their case before Justice Scott J. DelConte of the New York State Supreme Court.

Here’s where the race stands. First, a problem cropped up last week regarding 39 absentee ballots cast in Oneida County. A county election commissioner told Justice DelConte that sticky notes which had originally been placed on the ballots had fallen off. As a result, officials don’t know if those ballots were already counted or not. This has become known as “StickyGate.” Yes, really.

    The commissioners said they intended to put a sticky note on each of the 39 ballots that outlined whether a ballot was counted, the basis of a candidate’s challenge and which candidate challenged it.

    But by the time an envelope arrived at DelConte’s courtroom, at least eight ballots had no sticky note…

    Both commissioners said they believed each ballot had a sticky note on it and had no clue as to how they could have fallen off the ballots or what could have gone wrong in the process.

    “We have a serious problem on our hands,” DelConte said.

    DelConte noted that one ballot had two stickies, both pink. Another ballot appeared to have the wrong sticky.

Gee.  I wonder which candidate will be seated by Nancy Pelosi's party?
