While it was evident to most people a few weeks ago, after counting many absentee ballots, today it became mathematically certain @leemzeldin won re-election to Congress.  Suffolk BOE expects to certify the race very soon-- showing Congressman Zeldin won by 40k+ votes.

Suffolk BOE will be closed on Monday for cleaning and employee rapid-testing following an Election Worker’s COVID-19 positive test. We’ll be back to counting the remainder of 175,000 paper ballots on Tuesday!

Poll workers take their jobs seriously
The pay is modest — typically $13 an hour — and the pressure, particularly in a year like this, is considerable. https://t.co/l32Yg0YTP0

Frustrated by how long it takes NV to count? Think the process could be better in PA? I challenge you get involved in the elections process right here in NY!

Local Elections Boards need patriotic and civic-minded people to serve as Poll Inspectors:

@marceilschmitt Good Evening: To vote early, one must vote in their own county.

[Nick LaLota @CommishLaLota]

In 2019 after nine days of #EarlyVoting 17,008 Suffolk residents voted early. As of 2:30pm of day 2 of 2020 EV, 17,103 Suffolk residents voted early. Seven more EV days to go!

BIG turnout for Day 1 of #EarlyVoting ... 9,617 Suffolk voters cast a ballot today. Some were even camped out three hours before polls opened. Back at it at 10am tomorrow!

2,213 Suffolk voters cast an “early” ballot today. A successful day rolling out a vastly new process and technology. Our fine employees worked through hiccups in 2 of 10 locations, but we were at full speed about 1hr after polls opened. Early voting re-starts at 10am tomorrow.
