Tenney grows lead to 122 votes over Brindisi after latest review in NY22nd race


quote:

UTICA, N.Y. — Republican Claudia Tenney increased her lead over Democrat Anthony Brindisi in New York’s 22nd Congressional District race when more than 300 votes were salvaged after a mistake by Oneida County elections staff.

Tenney is now ahead by 122 votes, up from 29 votes, in the race over Brindisi of 312,066 cast for the two candidates in the race.

The 22nd Congressional race is the only undecided House race in the country, nearly three months after Election Day.

It’s ridiculous to have votes being counted/found three months later.

Every precinct should turn in the total number of votes from their precinct within 15 minutes of the polls closing. And that’s it. That’s the number of votes from that precinct.

All counting should be done within 8 hours of poll closing and anything after that is thrown out. PERIOD.

They shut down vote counting in 5 states when it wasn’t going their way.

They shut down free speech and Parler when it wasn’t going their way.

They shut down markets when they don’t go their way.

It was all necessary for the greater good. The ends justify the means. This country wasn't gonna survive another year with the mean-spirited tweets coming from the President. The republic was on the verge of dissolving.

Damn Democrats jumped outta the frying pan into the fire situation? For being such a lucky group, they sure are unlucky.

How does this one district have an election issue still ongoing, but the president race was over, then reopened at 4 am to restuff and then "done"?

Florida was counted & called ( for Trump ) by 10 pm, if not earlier.

Meanwhile, 3 months later....

It was a series of bad luck. First the ballot courier's coach's wheel broke and the wheelwright was backed up from so many other patrons. Finally, the wheel was placed back on the stage but after just two days, the team got snowed in at the pass on the way to Albany. After four weeks they were able to dig out but two of the four horses had perished from the bitter cold. It took weeks to get suitable replacement horses to the coach, first because there were few up to the job and secondly, the farrier was laid up with the grippe and the horses needed reshoeing for the task at hand. Now, word has spread that the courier is near, but some officials in a democrat heavy precinct have told the Gazette that they have discovered several hundred as yet undelivered ballots in a wooden trunk on Jeremiah Talbot's wagon. So, who knows?

If the Democrat was up by 122, this would be over months ago.

The GOP have a chance to pick up another House seat in LA on April 24. Cedric Richmond (D) left to join Biden's administration.

Have you seen the demographics of that district?

It will NOT be a republican.

Color me pessimistic, but I have an odd feeling that there are 123 ballots not counted yet just sitting on standby.

Well, the difference is, Florida learned many valuable lessons from past elections, the biggest difference is when they start counting the mail in ballots. In Florida they started counting them weeks before election day. Other states don't allow the counting of mail in ballots until the polls close. This is the problem because the process to count mail in/absentee ballots is very labor intensive and takes longer than counting votes cast on election day, using voting machines.
