A Democrat primary election in New York’s 12th Congressional District that took place on June 23 remains in flux thanks to major fumbles regarding mail-in votes.
Representative Carolyn Maloney, who has served in Congress since 1993, declared victory in the four-way primary after beating out second-place finisher Suraj Patel by 648 votes out of more than 39,000 votes counted. A squeaker to be sure, but that was before counting began on an additional 65,000 mail-in ballots, over a quarter of which were rejected for not having a postmark, thereby putting into question whether or not they were mailed on time.
