Absentee ballots to be counted Tuesday

Two Central New York races will be decided by absentee ballots after tight races for both the 22nd Congressional District and the 121st Assembly District.

Unofficial results currently have Assembly Anthony Brindisi, a Democrat, leading Republican Congresswoman Claudia Tenney by 1,293 for NY22. Brookfield Supervisor John Salka, a Republican, appears poised to oust longtime Democratic incumbent Bill Magee in the rural 121st Assembly District, as he leads by 963 votes.

Absentee ballots can begin being counted Tuesday, Nov. 13 as per state law. Magee’s campaign says around 3,000 absentee ballots are out for the 121st District race, while Tenney’s cam-

paign says about 12,000 absentee ballots and thousands of affidavit ballots remain uncounted for the 22nd District race. REPRESENTATIVE IN CONGRESS – 22ND CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT Anthony J.
