Judge rules Republican Tenney won last open US House race
Associated PressALBANY, N.Y. — A New York judge ruled Friday that Republican Claudia Tenney defeated U.S. Rep. Anthony Brindisi by 109 votes in the nation’s last undecided congressional race. The ruling by Judge Scott DelConte could clear the way for Tenney to be sworn in as the representative for central New York’s 22nd Congressional District, barring emergency intervention by a state appeals court. The voters need a voice in Congress, and I look forward to getting to work on behalf of New York’s 22nd Congressional District.” Tallies have shifted as county election officials counted a flood of absentee ballots and courts weighed in on which challenged ballots could be counted. He’s pushing for an audit that could trigger a hand recount, which he said Friday “is the only way to resolve this race.” Brindisi said he was “shocked and surprised” by the judge’s decision.
