Yes, Sol, that’s the question a bunch of us who worked in the campaign of one of these candidates are also asking ourselves, as the “final” votes,
apparently now only from Westchester, are still being counted, and the tally is coming in in dribs and drabs. From what I hear the notorious NY 23rd is ALSO still undecided. In an abysmally LOW turnout (maybe only 20% of registered Republicans) it makes no sense. They seem to have stopped and started a number of times in this vote count. Could the problems have something to do with the logistics of this highly gerrymandered districts, with “parts”
of a number of municipalities in THREE different counties? Or are they just being ‘extra careful’ , once it was determined this would be an extremely close race? Could there be a whiff of voter fraud detected somewhere? What is going on? Any thoughts on this at 2:57 Friday afternoon?

It is impossible 2 full days after the primary to determine the results of the neck and neck primary race in NY-17th Congressional district between ANTHONY MELE and YORK KLEINHANDLER. The results seem not to be available anywhere. This well-gerrymandered district covers parts of Rockland, Westchester and Bronx counties. Rockland has their results posted on their website. Westchester’s posted results show only results after 76% of the vote was tallied, but no final (even if unnoficial) tally. The Bronx results are nowhere to be found. Even the candidates don’t know. The biggest news to me is that it’s not news. A US Congressional primary race is still undecided 2 days later in a low turnout when all other races seem to be known —AND NO NEWS COVERAGE. What’s that about?
