NY fitfully counts absentee ballots amid legal challenge

Republican election officials around New York refused to process absentee ballots amid a court challenge earlier this week, but then began opening and scanning the ballots after a warning from the state attorney general, officials said.

Up to two thirds of New York’s Republican county elections commissioners were reluctant to adhere to court orders this week that kept a new early ballot-counting law in place pending an appeals court decision, according to Onondaga County Democratic elections commissioner Dustin Czarny, who leads the Democratic caucus of statewide elections commissioners.

The resistance revolves around a pandemic-era rule that allows absentee ballots to be prepared for counting before Election Day, which was challenged by members of the Republican and Conservative parties. Commissioners in New York used to open and scan absentee ballots after the election, leading to official counts being delayed sometimes for weeks as lawyers challenged individual ballots for alleged irregularities.

Nationwide, there have been more than 100 lawsuits filed this year around the Nov. 8 elections. The legal challenges, largely by Republicans, target rules for mail-in voting, early voting, voter access, voting machines, voting registration, the counting of mismarked absentee ballots and access for partisan poll watchers.
