WPCNR PRIMARY NIGHT EXTENDED. September 15, 2003: The Board of Elections official recanvass of White Plains Election Districts has been completed and unofficial rereads of the gauges in the rear of the city's voting machines show Tim Sheehan and Jeffrey Binder increasing their vote totals, and Dan Hickey the ticket challenger gaining 4 votes over Rosa Munoz.

The results unofficially after recanvas are: Tim Sheehan, 953; Jeffrey Binder, 877; Dan Hickey, 814, and Rosa Munoz, 798. Mr. Hickey's lead over Munoz is 16 votes, going into the opening of Absentee Ballots Wednesday and the adjudication of the validity of the 61 Affidavit Ballots. Our source advised that one of those Absentee Ballots belongs to Mayor Joseph Delfino of White Plains who was reported traveling in Italy with County Executive Andy Spano on Election Day, last week.

Explanations for the vote swings are attributed to fatigue and inattention on the part of Board of Elections volunteers on election night, who put in 15 hours before they have to read the results.
