Over a month after Election Day, the race for New York’s 22nd Congressional District still isn’t decided.
Republican challenger Claudia Tenney leads Democratic incumbent Rep. Anthony Brindisi (D-Utica) by 12 votes in a district with over 147,000 registered voters. While the final result of the election is still unknown due to legal challenges, Tenney has turned a 9-point deficit in polls into one of the tightest congressional races in the country.
Closer than expected
The only poll of the district, a Siena College/Syracuse.com poll taken between Sept. 27 and Oct. 4, gave Brindisi a 9-point lead that included a margin of error of 5 percentage points. Even including the margin of error, the poll was off by at least 4 points of the true result, as the candidates are now close to tied.

The male victim was about 14 years old in 1960 when the alleged sexual assault took place during after-school activities at the Boys and Girls Club in Jamestown. Lewandowski reportedly provided services as a priest for the club.
