Judge orders votes retallied in N.Y. House race with 12-vote margin December 8 at 2:41 PM A New York state judge Tuesday ordered ballots retallied in one of the closest House races in history, which could leave the question of who will represent the 22nd Congressional District potentially unsettled into the new year.
New York State Supreme Court Justice Scott J. DelConte ordered officials in eight counties to recanvass ballots after a Monday hearing in which, according to media reports, he expressed frustration with lawyers for both incumbent Rep. Anthony Brindisi (D) and his Republican opponent, former congresswoman Claudia Tenney.
The decision to order a districtwide review, however, is good news for Brindisi, who currently trails by 12 votes under the most recent districtwide count. His lawyers had hoped to limit recounts to certain absentee ballot disputes, but DelConte ordered a full recanvass — wholly rejecting Tenney’s request that he simply order the election’s certification, setting aside alleged errors and newly found ballots.

It never fails.
Is this the race where they just “found” 12 more uncounted ballots stuck in a desk drawer?
The Democrat will win with the exactly 250,000 votes they’re about to find under a table in Georgia.
Yep, and the infamous sticky notes that fell off and they don’t know if they were counted or not.
Another bite at the apple to make sure the Democrat wins.
Is this the same judge that was hand counting ballots earlier??
He makes Lance Ito look competent
Let’s really, really wonder how this one will turn out, shall we?
When I hear about election recounts, I always think of the old adage “A man with one watch knows what time it is. A man with two watches is never sure.”
If you count 2 times and get different results, which one is right? How can you possible decide? Cheaters love recounts because they know what number they have to reach, and as soon as they do, they want to stop. “See? We have the right answer now, and we won!”
“Keep counting until the Democrat wins”
That’s always the plan.
They have brought in the MN election strategists for this recount...
Communist now guaranteed an easy victory...
The house of cards has to come down, this is crazy.
So the Democrat Judge gave the Democrat candidate what he wanted. Big surprise there. Where is the New York State GOP in this? Have they done anything at all?
Exactly.
In all fairness, the “Judge” gave neither candidate what they wanted. The dem wanted only ballots that would favor him recounted/reconsidered. The Republican wanted the election certified. The Judge did neither and ordered a total recount.
It will never end.
It’s a (d) in a (D) state so they will keep counting until they find the result they are looking for.
I know Judge Ito very well. Not only is he an outstanding jurist, but a conservative and a Christian.
who stuck those votes in a drawer...that person should be charged and face trial....
Ito basically gave a murderer freedom...IMO.
