In New York on November 14 the Cunneen investigation into void ballots suggests Cunneen was elected by a substantial majority and enough rejected ballots may reclaim to elect Martin to Congress and O Connor to the Assembly, giving the Democrats a Manhattan sweep. Dayton notes possible void ballots in the 16th district could alter results, while O Connor’s defeat may be overturned. Albany reports attorneys canvassing votes and inspecting defective ballots. Hu remains ahead but cautious.
