Back to your regularly scheduled #NY22 programming! No new files yet, still waiting for that 4pm deadline.

Instead, I want to do a short thread breaking down how the Brindisi legal team suggests we fix #StickyGate 1/

This comes courtesy of their order to show cause filing yesterday. The first step is trying to remove the "stickiness" of the situation by individually labelling each of the objected ballots as required by state law. Easier said than done we'll find 2/

The reason this is so difficult?? We don't know why some of these votes were objected to, or if they were specifically included in the original counts.

Why don't we know this?? Because counties used sticky notes to annotate these ballots, and those notes fell off in transit 3/

The order of show cause does not give a suggestion as to what should happen with the ballots where we don't know if they were counted.

If this is the road #NY22 travels down, that will ultimately be Justice DelConte's most important ruling 4/

It's interesting to note the Brindisi team does not ask for a full recanvassing of the ballots, or in other words a full recount.

Instead, it suggests the best path forward might be a "limited audit" of these unknown ballots. It lists two ways to do this audit, first is below 5/

Here is the second and more primitive, old-school way the team suggests an audit could be conducted 6/

In addition to this audit, in Oneida County and elsewhere, the team requests materials the counties used to arrive at their counts. You can find a list of those materials/documents here 7/

The final component of the order to show cause is asking for the canvassing of all 55 found Chenango ballots. Again, while the voter registrations of these ballots appear to favor Tenney (R), big picture, these ballots could open the door for other BOE error ballots to count 8/8
