Will Mike Lawler be able to hold onto his seat?

This is one of those districts. It's a highly competitive swing district. In fact, back in 2022, a Democrat held this seat and then Mike Lawler, the Republican, he flipped it. He won again in 24 and now he's running for a third term. But again, all eyes. This is one of those races where all eyes are on it because it could be pivotal in changing the balance of power in Congress. Go ahead. Take a look here because Mike Lawler, he was out voting earlier today, but he was also addressing that chaos. That happened with the voting machines here in Westchester County, and he wanted to ensure voters that there is no monkey business going on with these machines. He is telling everybody, make sure you stay in line. Your votes are going to be counted. And he says that he and his Democratic opponent, Kate Connolly, along with the State Board of Elections and the Westchester County Board of Elections, are all on the same page as to how to deal with this issue. He says the ballots that were put in the bags earlier today, the orange bags, they are going to be taken to workable machines by police escort and they will be fed into those workable machines after the polls close at nine o'clock tonight and that they will definitely be counted. He showed up here at his headquarters in Pearl River in Rockland County late this afternoon and he spoke with reporters earlier and again he stressed that voters should stay in line and they should vote. Here is part of what he had to say. The voters are being given the ballots. So nobody is being prevented from getting a ballot. Nobody is being prevented from filling it out. Nobody is being prevented from submitting it. The issue is the processing of it. The machines have been unable to process it because of the barcode error. It's been put in an emergency. A ballot bag, it will be counted tonight, and I want to be clear, there's no shenanigans going on here. There's no intentional issues going on here. There was clearly a screw-up. It was not intentional. The question is how to fix it and make sure that everybody's ballot is counted. Absolutely. Okay, now this is a very tight race in a district, by the way, where there are 80,000 more Democrats that are eligible to vote and registered than there are Republicans. So Mike Lawler is fighting here for a third term.
