#NY22 update: 7 of 8 counties filed today, along with both candidates and the justice.
Main takeaway is Oneida County might be in more trouble than we thought, and Justice DelConte is still not playing around.
A full breakdown below 1/
All eight counties have now testified they did an additional search of their spaces and didn't find any more ballots.
Many of them have now proposed specific dates for their specific partial canvasses this week and next.
Looks like the Chenango 67 will remain the Chenango 67 2/
The most interesting news of the day came out of Oneida County.
Each of the county's elections commissioners, Republican Rose Marie Grimaldi and Democrat Carolann Cardone, has acquired their own, specific representation.
Have to think they suspect potential legal troubles. 3/
Another interesting point of note was Oswego County, where a lawyer claimed the county was not only ready but wanting to certify its count.
Justice DelConte stopped counties from certifying back in November.
Safe to say he wasn't having any of it today 4/
There was also a meeting at 4pm today between all of the various counsels to establish a timeline for this partial canvass process.
The Tenney campaign objected to beginning tomorrow.
No word on what was decided at that meeting.
The last interesting thing to happen today came from Tioga County, which says because there weren't any challenges in the county, it won't have to participate in this process.
No word yet from Justice DelConte on whether he agrees 6/6

YIKES: Why #NY22 will still be undecided long after the GA Senate runoffs, and other things you probably don't want to hear 1/
For this thread, I am going to use the best case scenario for each of the steps along this timeline. It's still more than likely it will be multiple months before this is all sorted out 2/
First step is the partial canvassing/recanvassing process created by the justice's ruling earlier this week.
We don't have a definitive schedule yet for this process, but both campaigns have proposed similar ones. Here is an example from the Brindisi camp below 3/
The first thing you should know is that Justice DelConte didn't directly rule in favor of one candidate or the other, while he did partially grant Brindisi's motion.
This process we will now have to follow is entirely of his creation.
Justice DelConte was extremely critical of the BOEs, particularly their failure to follow state law and allow candidates to review administrative rejections.
There are 1500 ballots in Oneida, 100 in Cortland, and "hundreds" in Broome that were not properly canvassed the 1st time
THREAD: I have combed through the extensive #NY22 ruling and will break it down here.
Biggest takeaway?? Roughly 1700 ballots not counted the first time will now be included in the count.
Justice DelConte rips all parties involved, says 7 of 8 BOEs made crucial errors 1/
The justice did not seem happy yesterday in court, but I didn't quite see this coming.
"The careless or inadvertent failure to follow the mandate of statute and case law" 2/
Before this gets picked up nationally and by conspiracy theorists, note this section from Justice DelConte clearly stating there is no allegations of fraud at this time 3/
While the #NY22 campaign filings were generic today, some of the counties submitted particularly interesting ones.
The Oneida County BOE for example says it’s open to a full recanvass of absentee/affidavit/overseas ballots, something neither campaign has asked for @WBNG12News
Another one to pay attention to was Oswego County today.
Down in part 7, the filing mentions “voting machine issues in Constantia Districts 1 and 3 and Williamstown” which caused some ballots to be had counted.
First I’ve heard of this
The final particularly interesting one comes courtesy of Herkimer County.
It appears that a new county Democratic Elections Commissioner was sworn in on Tuesday.
Herkimer of course has had to revise its vote counts several times.
