A county attorney based in Upstate New York alleged that dead people voted in a close congressional race that hasn’t yet been called, and a state elections official is seeking an investigation.

Madison County Attorney Tina Wayland-Smith said that election officials disqualified absentee ballots that were filed by three “deceased voters” in Madison County in a filing to New York Supreme Court Justice Scott Del Conte, referring to the congressional race between Democratic Rep. Anthony Brindisi and rival Republican Claudia Tenney, according to the New York Post.
