GOP Secures Another House Seat After Judge Dismisses Dems Claims of Irregularities
If this was a Senate seat, it would’ve meant the GOP had 51 Senators to 49 for the Democrats. But nonetheless, a win for conservatives is a win for the country.
Here’s what just happened in New York, via The Daily Caller:
A judge in New York on Friday rejected Democrats’ claims that voting machine irregularities undercounted hundreds of votes for Rep. Ted Brindisi, a decision that means Republican challenger Claudia Tenney will be certified the winner of the election.

More from The Hill:
The decision by State Supreme Court Justice Scott DelConte ordering counties and the state elections board to certify her victory ends a three-month legal battle with another House flip for Republicans, whittling the Democratic majority to 221-212. Tenney will unseat first-term Rep. Anthony Brindisi (D).
DelConte panned local elections boards for “systemic violations of state and federal election law,” including the Oneida County’s failure to process more than 2,400 voter applications. However, the judge ruled it is not the court’s job to rectify those errors.
