The Daily Freeman is reporting court referees took testimony from attorneys for Republican George Amedore and Democrat Cecilia Tkaczyk (KAT-chik) on the challenges they made in Ulster Co., in the 46th Senate District race, Mon., Dec. 10. Elections officials said both sides agreed to withdraw more than 100 challenges. There were still more than 100 ballots to be considered, Monday night and Tuesday in Ulster Co. Read the full story in the Daily Freeman. Jimmy Vielkind reported at Captol Confidential acting Montgomery County Supreme Court Justice Guy Tomlinson signed an order Monday, saying ballots from Greene County can be examined by its elections officials. On Fri., Dec. 6, attorneys for the campaigns reviewed 214 ballots from the county: Tomlinson ruled 79 ballots opened, and the attorneys withdrew their objections to another 46 votes, according to a Democratic source following the proceedings. In the meantime, Tkaczyk attended an orientation for newly elected Democrats at the state Capitol, Monday. It is unclear if Amedore will be present with the incoming GOP class, Tuesday. The 46th Senate District comprises parts of Ulster, Albany and Schenectady counties and all of Greene and Montgomery counties.
