High court: Count 228 more votes in disputed Senate election

 

(Albany, NY - AP) — In a victory for the Democratic challenger,

the state's highest court today declared that 228 more votes must be

counted in the disputed state Senate race in Westchester County.

 

The Court of Appeals ordered the standoff to continue between

incumbent Republican Nicholas Spano and Democrat Andrea Stewart-

Cousins as the votes are counted. The court overruled the midlevel

Appellate Division that said just 45 disputed votes needed to be

counted. That would have given Spano the win.

 

Most of the handwritten votes that have been counted so far have

gone to Stewart-Cousins.

 

The court stated that many of the problems with the ballots were due

to errors of election officials.

 

Nearly 127,000 votes were cast in the district.
