It has been almost a month since Election Day and Nassau County still has not declared a winner for the Nassau County Executive position nor for the Nassau County Comptroller position. The votes for both positions are still being counted and as of today for Nassau County Executive, the Democratic incumbent Tom Suozzi trails Republican challenger Edward Mangano by 213 votes. For the Nassau County Comptroller position, Democrat incumbent Howard Weitzman trails Republican challenger George Maragos by 500 votes.

The final tally is supposed to be entered as early as Wednesday and as late as next week. All of the voting machine ballots have been counted. The reason behind the hold up is the paper ballots. The counting of the paper ballots are being held at the Board of Election Headquarters in Mineola. When Suozzi was asked if he would appeal the final count if it was unfavorable he stated he would not “unless there is some crazy fraud that took place.”
