Broome begins counting absentee and military ballots November 12. Other counties in the district may have already started the tally.

According to the Observer-Dispatch, Oswego County Supreme Court Justice Scott DelConte ordered election boards to provide the candidates with lists of voters who were sent absentee ballots.

Tenney’s camp said no objected ballot should be included in the final count. Democratic incumbent, Brindisi said the court ruling was welcome and he believed every legal ballot should be counted.

There are over 60,000 absentee ballots in the district being counted this week.
