New York City will not start counting mailed primary ballots until next week
The New York City Board of Elections will not start counting ballots that were mailed in for last week’s primaries until next week, likely delaying results in a number of competitive races that remain too close to call.
The board confirmed to The Hill that Staten Island will begin counting votes on Monday and that the rest of the city’s four boroughs will start tabulating the mail-in ballots on Tuesday.
The delay means official calls will be further pushed back in a slew of key uncalled races, including the House primary in the 16th Congressional District, where Jamaal Bowman appears set to unseat Rep. Eliot Engel (D), and in the 12th Congressional District, where Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D) is trying to fend off a competitive challenge from Suraj Patel.
Both chair committees and their ouster would prove a huge win for progressives this campaign cycle.
Calls for several state Assembly seats will also be delayed.
