Candidates are declaring their intentions to run for State Senate across the Southern Tier and Finger Lakes.

In recent days, Danks Burke attempted to bring suit against officials in Schuyler County over some invalidated absentee ballots.

According to Danks Burke, the case relates to 75 to 100 ballots.

The incumbent, Republican Sen. Tom O’Mara, leads Democratic challenger, Leslie Danks Burke with nearly all districts reporting.
