Cheers erupted throughout the Broome County Board of Elections Tuesday night, as supporters of Michael Korchak heard the results.
“'I feel very relieved,' said Korchak. 'It was a tough battle, but we knew it was going to be a tight race and come down to the absentees, and it came down to the final absentees actually, as well as the affidavit votes.'
"Korchak says he credits the success to his support from both the people working on his campaign and the voters. 'We really had a great team. There’s too many people to even mention, but it really was a group effort and I’m very, very happy to continue to serve Broome County as a prosecutor,' said Korchak.
"Democratic opponent, Debra Gelson, says she was happy to see Korchak win.... However, Paul Battisti [is] demanding a recount....
