Mandel won’t challenge 98-97 vote
- September
- 26
Michael Mandel said he will not challenge the results of the Conservative primary for Orangetown Town Board that show him losing by one vote.
Sometimes when candidates loses by a tiny (or not so tiny) margin, they ask for a recount or file a lawsuit.
For instance, Republican Paul Valentine said he was considering a legal challenge in the Independence Party primary race in District 17, which he lost by two votes to Legislator Connie Coker, D-South Nyack.
But Mandel said he was satisfied that the Board of Elections did a proper count. He said he personally went over the votes, and they looked legit.
“I was up there and we went over all the election forms from all the election districts, and the numbers all jived,� he said.
Mandel won’t be on the November ballot, but said he plans to launch a write-in campaign.
