NEW YORK — Democratic Assemblywoman Yuh-Line Niou faces long odds of overtaking attorney Dan Goldman in the tight Democratic primary for New York's 10th Congressional District even though thousands of absentee ballots remain untallied.
There are about 7,000 valid absentee ballots that were received by Tuesday out of about 21,000 requested by voters in the primary for the newly drawn district spanning lower Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn, the Board of Elections says.
They won’t be tallied until next week at the earliest, when all the absentees are expected to be in.
