Final Count Underway

In Sheriff’s Race, More

The final canvass in the Nov. 6 midterms – the counting of 1,665 absentee ballots and 319 affidavit ballots – is underway this morning at the Otsego County Board of Elections at the Meadows Office Building.  Seated at center are Richard Sternberg, observing on behalf of the county Democrats, and Lynn Krogh, on behalf of the Republicans.  Others, from left, are Democrat Maguire Benton, Republican Bobby Walker, Marty Rosenbaum on behalf of Assemblyman Bill Magee’s campaign, and Nick Wilcock on behalf of John Salka, who is leading Magee in the 121st Assembly district count.  The greatest interest is in the county sheriff’s race, with incumbent Rich Devlin leading by 1,039 votes, but challenger Bob Fernandez refusing to concede.   The ballots would have to break two to one for Fernandez for the retired state trooper to unseat Devlin.  (Jim Kevliin/AllOTSEGO.com)
