Absentee Ballots Change Some Local Races

Absentee ballots have given Democrats control of the Monroe County Legislature for the first time in 30 years.

More Democrats than Republicans voted absentee, and that difference reversed the Election Night results in two legislative races.

Incumbent Democrats Michael Yudelson and Yversha Roman pulled ahead of their Republican challengers.

And absentee ballots widened Democrat David Long's win over incumbent Republican Joe Carbone.

The results give Democrats a 15-14 majority, though Democrat Sabrina LaMar has voted with Republicans over the last two years.

Meantime, the outcome of the Irondequoit Town Supervisor's race HASN'T changed. But Republican Rory Fitzpatrick's edge over Democrat Joe Morelle Junior was cut from 380 votes to just 74.
