Election officials in three New York counties are recounting contested ballots Dec. 14 in the contest between incumbent U.S. Rep. Anthony Brindisi (D-N.Y.) and former Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-N.Y.), the woman he defeated two years ago.
Brindisi won with a little more than 1,200 votes over Tenney in 2018 in the upstate New York district, but Tenney has a 12-vote advantage in the 2020 rematch. A judge ordered the recount on Dec. 11 after 55 previously uncounted ballots mysteriously appeared.
