Suffolk officials clarify results
Despite several Suffolk races reporting all precincts, party officials said the numbers may only reflect early voting and mail-in ballots.
Suffolk County Democratic Minority Leader Jason Richberg said the party is still waiting for numbers of poll results to come in.
Suffolk County Democratic Legis. Rebecca Sanin, who was leading Republican Challenger Chad Lupinacci, said she thought the lead reflected only early voting.
Nassau County results still were not posted online shortly after 10 p.m. Board of Elections Democratic Commissioner James Scheuerman said in a text message that the experiment in uploading memory sticks from polling sites was working but suggested information overload. “Good news is the data is working on the faster results,” Scheuerman said. “Just too much at once.”
