A New York Supreme Court justice said that election officials have found 12 uncounted ballots in a drawer that could affect a race where the GOP congressional candidate holds a slim 12-vote lead.
“WOW: Justice DelConte casually mentions an additional 12 ballots were found in Chenango County in a drawer last week,†said local CBS reporter Josh Rosenblatt on Twitter. “This is on top of the 55 ballots I reported were found last week, now making it 67 found ballots.â€
Of the 55 uncounted ballots found last week, 11 were found to have been cast by unregistered voters.
The news came during a hearing that Rosenblatt described as “contentious,†with incumbent Democratic Rep. Anthony Brindisi currently trailing GOP challenger Claudia Tenney by 12 votes. Tenney’s legal team has said that the court should certify the election results as they currently stand, arguing that the court does not have the legal authority to declare whether or not the ballots found are legal.
