Court Rules For Republican In Final 2020 House Race

The New York Times reports:

The nation’s last undecided House race came to an apparent resolution on Friday when a judge ruled that Claudia Tenney, a former Republican congresswoman in Central New York, be certified the winner, three months after Election Day.

Ms. Tenney held a mere 109-vote lead over her opponent, Anthony Brindisi, a moderate Democrat who was seeking re-election in New York’s 22nd Congressional District, following months of litigation and a series of twists and turns over how hundreds of contested ballots should be counted.

The ruling will allow Ms. Tenney to return to Washington, where she established herself as a close ally of President Donald J. Trump, but also alienated some voters with her divisive stances and rhetoric.

Read the full article. Tenney is best known here on JMG for literally running from the press and shouting “fake news!” after claiming that “most mass shooters turn out to be Democrats.” Her claim came days after the Parkland massacre. In 2018, she was endorsed by the Log Cabin Republicans.
