Broome absentee ballot results expand Brindisi’s lead over Tenney

BROOME COUNTY (WBNG) — A big vote result in Broome County expanding the gap between the two candidates in the race for the 22nd Congressional District race.

Following the absentee and affidavit ballot counts, the Broome County Board of Elections announced Friday Anthony Brindisi gained 2,959 votes, with Claudia Tenney gaining 1,640 votes.

The newest total puts Brindisi at a 122,565-119,422 vote advantage over Tenney– a 3,143 vote gap.

I was so bummed when I thought they still had a repub and it was a done deal.. but I accidently found out the Dem Anthony Brindisi is now in the lead when I googled "Claudia Tenney" to see when her term is up.. thinking maybe 2019?.. lol.

So.. There's HOPE for my old District.. where I have a lot of great Democratic Friends!
