New York State Board of Elections releases statement about Westchester County ballot scanning issues
David Buchwald retweeted
Statement From Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins on Election Day Voting Issues
“My office is fully aware of the ongoing problems with ballots and voting scanners across Westchester County, and I want to be absolutely clear: this situation is unacceptable.
“Voters should remain in line and exercise their right to vote. Every eligible voter will have the opportunity to cast their ballot, and every vote must be counted. I have directed County officials, including representatives from our Law Department, to monitor the voting process and ensure that voters can cast their ballots without interference and that every vote is properly and accurately counted.
“Once these issues are resolved, I will convene a bipartisan team to conduct a thorough review of the decisions and failures that led to this debacle, determine where accountability lies and ensure that this never happens again.
“Westchester County voters deserve a fair, secure and seamless election process. Today, we have fallen short of that standard. The voters deserve better, and I intend to make sure they get it.”

Hello, @NWSL @GothamFC @jennatonelli - any word on whether the @GothamFC @reignfc match will occur or if the prospect of further storms mean that the game will be postponed? Fans at @IcahnStadiumNYC would like to know. Thank you.

Did no one at the New York Times have the common decency to realize that today’s (April 17th, 2026’s) edition of the Midi crossword is shaped like a swastika? @NYTGames
Saddened to hear of my former colleague Cathy Nolan’s passing. She was a fighter in the best sense of the word, and she combined it with a warm heart - a great and effective combination.
In my first term in the State Assembly, I had a big success on behalf of @HarrisonCSD. Cathy had a lot to do with that - so too did the fact that the issue affecting Harrison schools also impacted New York City schools. 😀 Cathy was a pleasure to work with.

Following guidance from the New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services, Westchester County will institute a complete road ban beginning at 9 p.m. tonight, Sunday, February 22, through 10 a.m. Monday, February 23.
The road ban is being implemented due to hazardous winter weather conditions expected overnight, including heavy snowfall and high winds. Roads are closed to all but essential travel (police, fire , EMS, utility/public works and hospital/medical personnel).
Residents should stay off the roads during this time period to allow emergency crews and road treatment teams to operate safely and effectively. Travel conditions are expected to be treacherous to impossible, particularly during the overnight hours.

Very sad. Nita had such a positive impact on so many lives.
