White Plains CitizeNetReporter - Down the Stretch They Come: Watching the BOE Count, One Machine At a Time

WPCNR MORNING SUN. By John F. Bailey. September 17, 2002 UPDATED 10:25 A.M. E.D.T.: The tense recanvassing of the last five towns in District 89, involving the deadheat contest between Adam Bradley and Naomi Matusow will play out today beginning at 10:30 A.M. in Lewisboro, with two sets of Board of Elections Inspection Teams fanning out to White Plains, Lewisboro, Bedford, and North Castle. As of Monday evening, a Bradley spokespersons said it was not determined when and what the procedure would be to open the remaining Absentee Ballots and Affidavitt Ballots.

WPCNR, arriving for the Harrison recanvass this morning, was told by the Town Clerk, Joan Walsh, that the Tuesday morning recanvass was hastily rescheduled and executed Friday afternoon because the two election technicians had a conflict with the Tuesday morning scheduling.

Walsh said there was only a one vote discrepancy from the unofficial canvass, and representatives of both candidates observed. Walsh also reported that she did not receive the official Impoundment Order until yesterday, Monday, after the recanvass had already been done.

For those election fans who want to be in on the counting action, the times and locations of the Recanvasses are:

10:30 A.M.Lewisboro: At Meadown Pond School Warehouse, Deepwell Farm Road, Lewisboro.

High Noon:White Plains: At 20 Ferris Avenue, the Fire House, lower level.

12:30 P.M.Bedford: Whalen Moving & Storage, 39 Kiscona Avenue, Mt. Kisco

1:00 P.M. North Castle: North Castle Recreation Center, Whippowill Road, Armonk.

An Adam Bradley spokesperson said the Bradley organization would have observation teams on each site, watching closely.
