NY Senate control still not decided after election
Deciding who has enough votes to control New York’s state Senate could be two weeks away until absentee ballots are counted in some races, and it could be weeks after that before senators select a leader.
In the Assembly, Democrats easily continued their supermajority.
With most precincts reporting in unofficial results, it appeared two Republican Senate seats would switch to Democrats leaving the chamber tied 31-31, but that’s subject to counting thousands of absentee ballots that could erode razor-thin winning margins. A new seat created by the Republican majority to help seal its control was too close to call Tuesday night.
