Assemblywoman Stacey Pheffer Amato (D-Rockaway Park) is calling for a recount in the general election for Assembly District 23 against Tom Sullivan.
The race, which has remained officially undecided with 246 votes separating the candidates and Sullivan holding the lead with 94 percent of the vote counted, has yet to be called.
Last week, Pheffer Amato said in a statement, “It is important for EVERY vote to be counted. The Board of Elections is currently awaiting absentee, military, overseas and affidavit ballots to be received. While it may take some time, we must embrace the rules and laws in order to have an official result.”
Sullivan was notified of the lawsuit via an email from the Queens Board of Elections office just before 11 p.m. last night, he told the Chronicle. Late last week, he received one informing him that Pheffer Amato was being represented by Sweeney, Reich & Bolz, LLP, Long Island-based attorneys who are mainstays in the Queens Democratic Party. Pheffer Amato and Frank Bolz signed the lawsuit, which lists both Sullivan and the city BOE as respondents.
It calls for the court to order as issue to determine the validity of all ballots cast in the general election, for an accurate tally to be determined under the recanvass of the votes cast and for all ballots to be recanvassed by hand, according to the documents, which were obtained by the Chronicle.
The lawsuit states that over 1,000 absentee and affidavit ballots are left to be counted and that the absentees are done on a rolling basis and the affidavits are scheduled to be canvassed tomorrow, Nov. 16.

Kudos to DeSantis for banning ballot harvesting.
Other Free States need to follow his lead...
How can you recount if some ballots haven't been counted for the first time?

We can all see the emperor has no clothes.
Democrats House Minority Frontrunner is an Election Denier as well !
Will Jeffries be banned or kicked from social media? Twitter? Facebook? Youtube? Isnt it against the rules ? Double standards; No standards. Y'all know the drill.
Rightwing nuts heat democracy.
Prove me wrong ...
Can't wait until she is no longer blocking the sidewalk with her official cars outside her Rockaway Beach office. That office is next to an assisted living warehouse of forgotten souls. The former site of the Bank of Rockaway, the very first bank to shutter after Roosevelt declared bank holidays. But don't take that as an omen.
Stacey will be remembered as hostile and aggressively unhelpful to tenants. Her office was purposely useless. Maybe because a Queens County housing court judge has an apartment in the building? Nah, just a coincidence.
