Dozens of attorneys, elections workers and volunteers wrapped up the counting of paper ballots for Nassau's closely contested elections at county Board of Elections headquarters in Mineola Nov. 30.
The closing tallies for Nassau’s too-close-to-call Nov. 3 elections are finally in, yet the results are still unofficial until certified by the county Board of Elections. Here are the figures as they stand at the end of the paper ballot count’s final day on Nov. 30:
Republican Legis. Ed Mangano leads incumbent Democratic County Executive Tom Suozzi by 386 votes.
Incumbent Democratic Comptroller Howard Weitzman trails Republican challenger George Maragos by 658 votes.
Incumbent Democratic Legis. Joseph Scannell leads Republican challenger Christian Browne by 389 votes.
Republican Howard Kopel leads incumbent Democratic Legis. Jeffrey Toback by 1,201 votes.
