Election Update: Paper Ballots Still on Lockdown

The Westchester County Board of Elections it is still unable to count paper ballots because of current legal actions.

All Westchester County ballots have been caught up in an impoundment involving the Supreme Court justice race between Republicans Ed Borrelli and Robert DiBella and Democrat Paul Marx.

Patch spoke with a Westchester County Board of Elections worker, who did not want to be identified, regarding the status of Ossining's ballots.

"We don't have any official results until we certify. Unofficial results—they're still putting in numbers from the machines and we don't have any paper open yet," said the worker. "Until the judge tells us that—you know with the impoundment—and says we can open them—we can't."

The end could be in sight regarding the ballot holdup when it comes to the Supreme Court justice race's court case.

"They're going back to court tomorrow at 2 p.m., and hopefully by then we'll have some answers. Then we can open stuff up," said the worker continue.

According to the Westchester County Board of Elections, the two Supreme Court justice candidates went to court on Monday. The case was subsequently pushed back to Wednesday.
