Andrew Garbarino is an American politician serving as the New York State Assemblyman for the 7th district since 2013. A member of the Republican Party, his district comprises portions of the towns of Brookhaven and Islip, including Fire Island, Bay Shore, Bohemia and Patchogue in Suffolk County on Long Island.
NEW YORK (AP) — After a delay of several weeks, Suffolk County publicly released absentee ballot totals Friday from the November election, confirming victories by a pair of Republicans in Long Island congressional races.

One of Trump’s allies, Republican U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin, won reelection to a fourth term representing the state’s easternmost congressional district. He defeated Democrat Nancy Goroff, a chemistry professor who took a leave from Stony Brook University to seek elective office for the first time.
The Republican had built a commanding lead over Goroff on Election Day. Absentee ballots helped Goroff narrow the gap somewhat, but Zeldin ultimately prevailed by a comfortable 9.7 percentage points.
The newly released vote totals also confirmed that Republican Andrew Garbarino has won a closely watched battle to succeed longtime U.S. Rep. Peter King on Long Island’s South Shore.
Garbarino, a 36-year-old, four-term state assemblyman, defeated Democrat Jackie Gordon, 55, by just under 7 percentage points.
State elections officials certified Zeldin and Garbarino as the victors in their races Thursday. The Associated Press didn’t call the race until Friday because elections officials in Suffolk County had not made enough of the vote totals public.
The elections board in the county was among several in New York that decided to release no rolling updates on their counts of a record 2 million absentee ballots cast in the state.
New York City’s Board of Elections kept information about its count of more than 662,000 absentee ballots secret until Tuesday.
That was a sharp departure from the practice in several battleground states in the presidential election, where officials updated the public daily on how their count of the mail-in vote was going.
That lack of transparency, and general slowness of the vote count in New York, has prompted some state leaders to call for reforms.
“The country was looking down their noses at Pennsylvania, Georgia for taking so long,” Senate Deputy Majority Leader Michael Gianaris said earlier this week. “New York makes them look good. We are the last in the nation in terms of finishing our vote counts and it’s an embarrassment that would have been more widely known were we at play in the presidential election.”

Trump won Suffolk LI by a lot more than a few hundred votes more fraud ballots, lots of dead people, many felons and aliens votes are in the pile for the old senile thief Biden’s vote total. NY board of elections and long island law enforcement are more corrupt than all the other states combined.

The vote counting isn’t slow, it is an excuse for fraud.

Well, if they continue using these fraud voting machines and Biden is in, this will be his last position in his political career.
