NY Republican claims ‘stolen’ election after blue wave, local vote machine chaos

The only Republican on the Westchester County Board of Legislators is refusing to concede to a Democrat in his bid for reelection — claiming the election was “stolen” from him because of local vote machine chaos . County Legislator James Nolan made the wild statement as he trailed Democratic challenger Kisha D. Skipper by 246 votes in his reelection bid, according to unofficial results from the Westchester County Board of Elections. Board of Legislators candidate James Nolan claims the election was stolen from him in a Facebook photo post. Facebook/James Nolan Nolan, who represents portions of Yonkers, Bronxville, and Eastchester, was in position to lose his seat after days of ballot counting following a widespread programming glitch on Election Day in Westchester County that saw voting machines unable to scan paper ballots. The race was already ensnared in controversy when Skipper was handcuffed and detained by cops after a restroom brawl with Nolan’s mother at a candidates’ forum in Yonkers last month. “Following a massive countywide voting machine shutdown on Election Day, I have serious concerns about what took place, and the timing of these failures raises questions that demand answers,” Nolan said in a statement after ballots were counted

At Somos, New York’s political future meets Puerto Rico’s present

The annual Somos conference has long been equal parts family reunion, policy summit and political marketplace for New York’s Latino elected officials. But the 40th anniversary gathering at the Caribe Hilton in San Juan carried unusual significance this year, unfolding just days after a Democratic wave election that reshaped New York politics while forcing attendees to confront Puerto Rico’s own challenges, from drought and infrastructure strains to questions about economic development and political self-determination.

Stewart-Cousins eyes ‘progressive taxation’ push

With help from Molly Reinmann HAPPY TUESDAY. This is Nick Reisman in Albany. Massive Democratic majorities are returning to Albany in January, giving a boost to the tax-the-rich forces. I’ve got new reporting on that dynamic. Plus my colleague has the details on a New York City Council hearing next month on student sexual assault. Have news tips or just want to share what’s on your mind? Reach me at nreisman@politico.com . Driving The Day A MASSIVE MAJORITY : Legislative Democrats will come roaring back to Albany next year with turbocharged majorities in the state Senate and Assembly. They intend to use that refreshed mandate to major effect — especially when it comes to pursuing what Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins called “progressive taxation.” “We’ve always looked at the ability of those with extraordinary wealth to be able to pay more, do more,” she told Playbook in an interview Monday. “That’s been something that our conference has talked about.” What those proposals will look like won’t be clear for months. But if the past is any guide , the Democrat-dominated Legislature will likely seek a suite of income tax hikes on the richest New Yorkers — changes designed to generate

Mamdani distances himself from DSA’s wildest platforms during rapid-fire Fox News questioning

Mayor Zohran Mamdani once again distanced himself from some of the wildest policies espoused by leaders of the Democratic Socialists of America . Hizzoner downplayed the possibility of him getting booted out of the lefty group while claiming there’s mainstream public support to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). “The thing that has been offered as a part of a litany of policy platforms that I would reject is, after last night, why would we abolish the Senate?” Mamdani told “Fox News Sunday” in a pre-taped interview. “I think what we’re seeing is that Americans across this country are facing a cost-of-living crisis,” he added. “Americans are tired of waiting. They are tired of being told that their needs are unrealistic by the very politicians who have been bought by the wealthiest people in the country.” New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani once again distanced himself from key tenets of the DSA platform.
