In court, delconte went ballot by ballot, to try to determine what should and should not be counted.

There are over two thousand challenged ballots in the district... seventeen hundred of those are from oneida county... and are all affidavits.

The attorney for the oneida county b- o-e says these affidavit ballots have presented a very difficult challenge.

"it involves looking at a bunch of data bases, and there's 17-hundred of these so right now the commissioners are going through all 17-hundred and their comparing names with the data bases to see whether the person is registered someplace in new york or not."

After all the counties reported corrected vote totals... republican challenger claudia tenney leads incumbent anthony brindisi by 19 votes, according to unofficial results.

The vote totals are likely to change after oneida county finishes their review of disputed ballots.

Even once the judge rules on the disputed ballots... it still might not be over.
