Libertarian Michael Korchak has been declared the winner in the race for Broome County District Attorney. Election officials made the determination Tuesday after counting absentee ballots. Korchak called it a tough battle.
Republican challenger Paul Battisti is demanding a recount and refuses to concede. In a statement, he said
he is asking for the Broome County Board of Elections to conduct a full hand count and review of every ballot cast in this election to ensure true and accurate result.
