#NY22: Democratic Incumbent Brindisi Reportedly Leads Challenger Tenney by Only 13 Votes
“[State Supreme Court] Judge [Scott] DelConte has already verbally ruled that ballots invalid that are in [Brindisi’s] count.”
Incumbent Democrat Anthony Brindisi for New York’s 22nd Congressional District leads his Republican challenger Claudia Tenney by only 13 votes.
Sources told Newsmax the Democrats’ “sudden claim of victory is very misleading.”
A quick word about yesterday’s #NY22 numbers: these are not the official, certified vote counts. They were produced because Justice DelConte wanted a better sense of the true nature of the race.
These will not be the absolute final numbers for #NY22

It’s all about Oneida County because officials used Post-Its to mark the invalid ballots.
Why? Who knows because anyone with a brain knows that Post-Its do not stick to an item very long.
They also cannot find 100 ballots:
The court never gave an update Tuesday about whether or not further efforts to locate the 100 or so Oneida County ballots were successful. It was the second substantial issue with Onieda County’s ballots in as many days. Day one was the absentee, day two was affidavits. In both cases, missing sticky notes leaving a number of questions,.
[Oneida County Board of Elections Commissioner Rose] Grimaldi said they tracked which ballots received objections by placing them in boxes. They only made notations on ballots themselves if they were rejected, she said.
When pressed about what color the sticky notes should be, Gremaldi said she wasn’t sure because she wasn’t in the room most of the time. She said she could only testify as to what the poll workers were instructed to do.
So the board of elections has no idea “which absentee ballots – which were before them in court – had been counted in the original count, and which had not been.”
Madison County used a spreadsheet, but that wasn’t even a failsafe:
Some counties in NY-22 handled objected ballots differently. Madison County used a spreadsheet to make record of each of the objected or challenged ballots, with who objected to them and what the problem was.
But even in Madison, problems arose. The accuracy of the spreadsheet fell into question Monday when Justice DelConte grew irate over each of the individual ballots not being marked separately.
New York State election law makes clear that each ballot needs to be individually marked with the objections and if they were counted.
Tenney and her campaign are furious the Democrats have claimed victory in the NY22 race. From Newsmax:
“[State Supreme Court] Judge [Scott] DelConte has already verbally ruled that ballots invalid that are in [Brindisi’s] count,” the source said. “So their sudden claim of a victory is very misleading.”
DelConte has ordered the counties in the 22nd District not to certify the results until he allows them to do so.
A further hearing that is sure to include charges of invalid ballots cast in the race is scheduled for DelConte’s courtroom in Oswego Monday morning.
“Today’s misleading and inaccurate tally is rife with errors and mistakes that must be rectified before this election is certified,” read a statement from the Tenney campaign. “It is far from final. Our team will fight to ensure the rights of every voter who cast a legal and proper ballot are preserved and not diluted. … When that is done, we feel strongly that Claudia Tenney will be certified the winner of the race for the 22nd District of New York.”
Tenney unleashed on Gov. Andrew Cuomo over the changes he made to the election rules in August:
“Here is what has happened,” Tenney told guest host Tammy Bruce. “Andrew Cuomo issued an executive order in August altering the election rules and altering how we are going to process elections.
“We allowed no-excuse absentee ballots, anyone could get an absentee ballot; [they] can apply for it online, didn’t have to verify, you just have to have your name, date of birth, and address and your absentee ballot is sent.”
New York has other election problems. A person can still “cast ballots in person even after receiving an absentee ballot.” This causes election officials to waste time tracking down the absentee ballot and throw it out.
State Sen. Michael Gianaris (D) wrote a bill that “would allow election officials to open and count absentee ballots beginning on Election Day instead of waiting a full week.”
This race will not end soon. Brindisi thinks he will be sworn in in January, but that might not happen.
Dr. Luke Perry, director of the Utica College Center of Public Affairs and Election Research, thinks “the judge will order some type of recount” since the commissioners cannot determine which ballots they included in the final count.

The Democrats need to find more car trunks to open.
All the Democrats cheating prove to me that the Republicans actually won the House.
We are never going to get a straight up fair election ever again anywhere are we?
As long as there are other methods aside from in person ID voting, then no.
One more time.
Every elected official who crafted the system which created this sort of mess, every election official who failed or refused to perform their duties of oversight, every damn person involved in casting or accepting or counting of fraudulent ballots in in any 2020 election should:
1. Be publicly stripped
2. Be publicly flogged, 3 dozen lashes seems fair
3. Be placed and locked into a pillory from now until inauguration day.
FYI a pillory is the dohicky made of wood with jokes for hands and head. One is placed and locked in bent at an uncomfortable angle. One is left exposed to the elements and to minor admonishment from the public; shouting and thrown eggs etc. One is only fed and helped to perform necessary bodily functions if members of the public are willing to help.
That might cure some of the shenanigans.
4. Drawn and quartered.
With inflation that would be drawn and dollared. Or perhaps five-dollared.
It will go on until the Democrat moves into the lead.
Then the election will be promptly certified.
I have no doubt that if only legal votes were counted, President Trump would have won a clear landslide victory, and Kevin McCarthy would be the odds-on favorite to be the Speaker of the House.
Florida 2000 Rules: Count the votes (but only votes from heavily Democratic areas) repeatedly until the Democratic candidate is in the lead….and then cease all further counting.
Amazing how these votes suddenly change when it comes to Democrats. They find out how far behind they are, and then the mail in fraud come in to take the lead.
I am so disgusted with the left ALWAYS cheating.
Of course they can, and should. I was astonished to read that only a few other states allow it.
No, it doesn’t. They don’t have to track anything down. How do you process any absentee ballot? Obviously the first thing you do is check that the person is on the roll, with that name and address, that they’re not marked as having voted already, and that the signature matches. So when you see they’ve already voted you automatically throw the envelope out, without even opening it. That doesn’t take any time at all, because you have to do it anyway.
The progressive fascists won’t be happy if conservatives lose all faith in elections. That would leave only one alternative to defend our liberty, the exercise of our second amendment rights to remove tyranny.
Isn’t it amazing how the Dems “win” every close elections by just a few votes?
