New York election authorities still cannot pinpoint when all of their outstanding absentee ballots will be tabulated, nor even a date for unofficial final election returns from the state’s June 23rd primary election.
In the 1st District, Democratic candidates await a decision regarding whether 2018 nominee Perry Gershon will prevail over college professor Nancy Goroff and local official Bridget Fleming. Mr. Gershon holds a 164 vote edge over Ms. Goroff and leads Ms. Fleming by 1,104 votes with thousands of outstanding ballots remaining to be reported. The eventual winner faces three-term Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley). In the open 2nd District, it appears clear that state Assemblyman Andrew Garbarino (R) and local town official Jackie Gordon (D) will advance into the general election. Leaving Long Island and heading into New York City, Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-Manhattan) holds only a 648 vote lead over hotel executive and 2018 candidate Suraj Patel. At one point in the post-election period, Rep. Maloney indicated that over 109,000 absentee ballots awaited counting. It only appears a formality to officially declare former middle school principal Jamaal Bowman the victor over veteran Rep. Eliot Engel (D-Bronx), New York City Councilman Ritchie Torres as the Democratic winner in the Bronx’s open 15th District, and attorney Mondaire Jones as the new Democratic nominee in the open 17th District. All have large leads awaiting a final count. The 19th District Republican primary is still very much in doubt as fashion company owner Ola Hawatmeh holds a 475 vote lead over former local official and Army Reserve officer Kyle Van De Water. The eventual winner here faces freshman Rep. Antonio Delgado (D-Rhineback). Declared nomination winners are former Rep. Claudia Tenney in the 22nd District Republican primary, earning her a re-match with freshman Rep. Anthony Brindisi (D-Utica), and Dana Balter in the 24th District Democratic primary thus setting up a re-match with Rep. John Katko (R-Syracuse). Comments are closed.
