The Albany Times-Union is reporting that Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand's ballot was challenged by GOPer Jim Tedisco's team in the NY-20 recount. Gillibrand, who represented the district before being tapped to replace Hillary Clinton in the Senate, voted absentee.
Here's the item, filed this afternoon:
This just in from Columbia County: when Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand's absentee ballot came up in the queue, the poll watchers for Jim Tedisco objected to it, saying the senator was in the county on election day and should have voted in person.
The NY-20 recount continues with the margin between Tedisco and Democrat Scott Murphy at 47 votes, according to the AP.
