The 2020 Congressional election is finally over!
#^Anthony Brindisi concedes loss to Claudia Tenney in NY-22 House raceAnthony Brindisi today conceded the 22nd Congressional District election to Claudia Tenney, abruptly ending a three-month legal battle over disputed ballots in the election.
Brindisi, a Utica Democrat, had been pursuing a legal appeal of a state Supreme Court ruling that allowed New York state to certify Tenney as the election winner earlier today by 109 votes.
But two hours after the state certified the election at noon, Brindisi called Tenney to concede. He told her that he would drop all legal appeals and his demand for a manual hand recount of all 316,000-plus ballots cast in the election.
