The Associated Press was also yet to declare the winner in the Democratic primary between Foreign Affairs Chairman Eliot L. Engel and former middle school principal Jamaal Bowman in New York’s 16th District.
Bowman declared victory Wednesday. Tallies by the AP last updated shortly before 3 a.m. had him leading 61 percent to 36 percent, a lead of about 9,100 votes out of nearly 36,000 cast.
It was unknown, however, how many absentee ballots remained to be counted. Election officials said those tallies would not be announced until next week, and Engel’s campaign spokesman said it was premature to make a declaration about the final result.
House Oversight Chairwoman Carolyn B. Maloney also appeared potentially in trouble in her primary in New York, with early returns showing a close contest. In close races, absentee ballots are often more heavily scrutinized than machine returns anyway, a reality that could further prolong the wait for official results.
Some House primaries that are not closely watched cannot be called either, in many cases. For instance, no results had been reported as of Wednesday morning in the Republican primary in Kentucky’s 3rd District.
