Election 2020: Thousands Of Absentee Ballots Just Starting To Be Counted Could Decide Close Races Across New York
written by ChelseyTSF
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The voters have spoken, but their verdicts remain unknown in a significant number of races in New York . From seats in Congress to the make-up of the State Senate, it’s coming down to the painstaking work of counting absentee ballots, CBS2’s Tony Aiello reported Monday. In the the drab recesses of the Westchester Board of Elections, the vital work of democracy is done one absentee ballot at a time. “Every legal ballot will count, that gets in here in a timely fashion, will count,” said Westchester Election Commissioner Reginald Lafayette. Absentees are literally stamped with the word, “timely,” as they are sorted and verified. Aiello saw one absentee ballot was set aside. A double-check found the person who mailed it in also voted in-person. Their absentee vote won’t count. More Election 2020 Coverage : General Election Results New York Results New Jersey Results Complete Coverage The size of the job in 2020 is absolutely unprecedented. 103,000 absentee ballots in Westchester this year, versus 30,000 four years ago. Absentees will decide many contests, including heated state senate races in New York City, Nassau, Suffolk and Westchester. Early and Election Day votes gave Rob Astorino an 8,000 vote lead over Sen. Peter Harckham . That could easily change as absentees and affidavits are counted. “Literally, we may not know until Thanksgiving which, you know, all day all I hear is Carly Simon’s ‘Anticipation,’ and then when that finally gets out of my head, I hear Tom Petty’s ‘The Waiting Game.’ So, it’s like, you know, we all go crazy right now,” Astorino said. MORE: Election 2020: New York City Begins Counting Mail-In Ballots Monday New York’s most powerful woman know that all too well. In 2004, absentees wiped out Andrew Stewart-Cousins’ lead. She lost her first state senate race by 18 votes. Stewart-Cousins told Aiello that accepting the loss with dignity helped her win two years later. “When people see that you’re not in a frenzy, that you’re not screaming at your opponent, you’re not tearing down the Board of Elections, it makes a difference because, at some point, it talks about your character,” she said. Absentee ballots will also settle the 3rd Congressional District race . Republican George Santos has a razor thin lead over Congressman Tom Suozzi with more than 70,000 absentee ballots to be counted. Democrats and republicans jointly supervise the process, working together so the will of the voters is honored.

Jets Fall To 0-9 For First Time In Franchise History, Lose To Patriots As Time Expires
written by BerylAlgeranoff
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Nick Folk kicked a 51-yard field goal as time expired, and the New England Patriots rallied to beat the winless New York Jets 30-27 on Monday night to end a four-game losing streak. Newton had two touchdown runs, with the second tying it at 27 with 1:57 remaining to erase a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit. After the Jets went three-and-out, the Patriots got the ball back with 47 seconds left and went to work. Newton had a 5-yard run on third-and-1 from the New England 42 and then spiked the ball with 8 seconds remaining. He followed with a 20-yard pass to Jakobi Meyers to put Folk — a former Jets kicker — in position for the winning field goal. It dropped the Jets to 0-9 for the first time in franchise history, and this was an agonizing loss. Jamison knew it. Watch live: https://t.co/ukBNkB3B1R pic.twitter.com/XWLFZySChM — New York Jets (@nyjets) November 10, 2020 After Folk’s 29-yarder with 6:04 left cut the Patriots’ deficit to 27-20, Joe Flacco — having a solid night until that point — tried to put the game away. Instead, he swayed the momentum in New England’s favor as his deep pass for Denzel Mims was picked off by J.C. Jackson. That set up Newton’s tying TD — and deflated the Jets, who couldn’t recover. Newton finished 27 of 35 for 274 yards, and Meyers had 12 catches for 169 yards for the Patriots (3-5), who avoided their first five-game losing streak since 1995 under coach Bill Parcells. Flacco was 18 of 25 for 262 yards and three touchdown passes — two to Breshad Perriman and one to Jamison Crowder — but had the game-changing interception. With the Patriots down by 10, Newton marched them down the field to open the second half, capping a 14-play drive with Rex Burkhead’s 1-yard plunge into the end zone to make it 20-17. But the Jets answered right back, with Flacco finding a wide-open Perriman in the end zone for a 15-yard touchdown and a 27-17 lead with 30 seconds left in the third quarter. Flacco kept the drive alive on third-and-9 from the Patriots 32 when he sidearmed a pass to Perriman for a 12-yard gain. A miscue by the Jets on special teams kept the Patriots’ next drive alive. After Newton stumbled on third-and-1 and was stopped for a 4-yard loss, New England appeared to have to settle for a 32-yard field goal. But the Jets were called for 12 men on the field — resulting in a first down for the Patriots. But the defense made up for the miscue, getting a red-zone stop — with an assist from a holding penalty on New England right tackle Mike Onwenu — and holding the Patriots to a 29-yarder by Folk to make it 27-20 with 6:04 left. But New England got the ball right back when Flacco was picked off by Jackson. It marked the fourth straight game with an interception for Jackson. With the Jets looking for a stop on third down, Bless Austin was called for defensive holding, keeping the drive alive. Damien Harris ran for 21 yards to get into Jets territory. He followed with a 9-yard gain, but it was called back because of an offensive holding penalty on Meyers. Harris also took a big hit on the run and was down for several minutes before walking gingerly to the sideline. Three plays later, Newton completed a 19-yard pass to Meyers and then ran for 3 yards on fourth-and-1. Newton hit Damiere Byrd for 31 yards to put the ball at the 3. Newton ran for 2 yards on first down, was stopped for no gain and then pushed his way into the end zone with his second rushing TD of the game to tie it with 1:57 remaining. INJURIES Jets : Rookie left tackle Mekhi Becton left in the first half with a chest injury. Cornerback Brian Poole was also ruled out at halftime after injuring a knee in the second quarter. UP NEXT Patriots : Host the Baltimore Ravens next Sunday night. Jets : Bye week. New York is at the Los Angeles Chargers on Nov. 22. (© Copyright 2020 CBS Broadcasting Inc. All Rights Reserved.

‘We Can Do This, Too’; New Rochelle Students Inspired By Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris’s Historic Achievement
written by EmanuelClem
NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — Vice President-elect Kamala Harris is breaking barriers and inspiring many people, especially of the younger generation, CBS2’s Jenna DeAngelis reported Monday. Harris will become the first woman, first Black and first South Asian Vice President. “While I may be the first woman in this office, I will not be the last,” Harris said in a speech after President-elect Joe Biden was projected to win the White House. “She’s done this and that means that we can do this, too,” said Sophia Anikewich, a 6th grader at The Ursuline School in New Rochelle . MORE: Women In New York Celebrate As Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris Makes History Sophia is one of many students – aspiring lawyers, writers and doctors – who said they now see endless possibilities. “I think that this pushed me more towards any goal that I had in life, because I know that everything is now achievable,” said Anaya Balkcom, a junior at the school. “Sets a new precedence in leadership positions for young girls to aspire to,” said Genevieve Galluccio, a senior. This generation is looking to Harris, who honored the women who came before her in the speech Saturday by wearing suffragette white. “I stand on their shoulders,” Harris said. MORE: Cheering, Celebrations Erupt In Streets Of New York After Joe Biden Projected To Win Presidency “The future builds on the past. Without these breakthroughs, you’re not gonna see more change,” said Debbie Walsh, director of the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers. Walsh said Harris reaching the second highest office in the country is more than just symbolic. “It means that at that powerful table, where decisions are being made, there is somebody who sees the world through a gendered lens, and through a lens of race, and that will have an impact on policy,” Walsh said. “I think that no matter which side of the aisle that you align with, it’s impossible to deny how absolutely incredible this accomplishment was for all women across the board,” said Hailey Dorsainvil, a senior at Ursuline. It’s “herstory” in the making.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Mayor Bill de Blasio is sounding the alarm about soaring infection rates. He says city residents can make a last-ditch effort to prevent a second wave of COVID-19 . Construction workers were putting the finishing touches on a new rapid testing site at the Staten Island Ferry Terminal on Monday as infection rates continued to rise throughout the city, especially on Staten Island and in the Bronx . The mayor warned that the city is on the precipice of a second wave of infection, CBS2’s Marcia Kramer reported. “We can stop a second wave if we act immediately, but we have one last chance,” de Blasio said.

De Blasio said that indoor dining might have to be reevaluated and that there was the possibility of the reimposition of restrictions. “It means, unfortunately, could mean even having to shut down parts of our economy again, which would be horrible for the city, horrible for the livelihoods of people.

Experts Warn: Horseshoe Crabs, Crucial To Helping Create Vaccines, Are Facing Extinction
written by ReynaldNew
WEST SAYVILLE, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — The safety of any new coronavirus vaccine will depend on the help from an ancient marine creature. Horseshoe crabs have been helping pharmaceutical companies for decades keep vaccines free of contaminants. But, now their own future is in question. “Horseshoe crabs have been on Earth for 445 million years,” said John Tanacredi, the director of Molloy College ‘s Environmental Research and Coastal Oceans Monitoring lab. They survived the age of the dinosaurs, but will they survive the 21st century? MORE : Fishermen: Legislation To Protect New York’s Horseshoe Crabs Is ‘Overkill’ Fewer and fewer horseshoe crabs are seen on Long Island beaches. “Extinction is forever.

Expert: Parents Be Mindful Of Children’s Stress After Months Of Isolation Chopper 2 Over Empty NYC Streets, Landmarks Complete Coronavirus Coverage Tanacredi said horseshoe crabs are in dire straits due to over-harvesting for bait, consumption and loss of habitat. Of the 115 beaches the program monitors, 75 have seen horseshoe crabs disappear. They are fascinating creatures that don’t harm humans, but rather do much to help. Their unique blood is used to make sure IV drugs and vaccines are safe. Vaccines like those being developed to fight COVID-19 . “Horseshoe crab blood is harvested to produce limulus amebocyte lysate, LAL. That is a detecting system for bacterial contamination,” said Tanacredi. Pharmaceutical companies harvest the blood and then return the crabs to the water. “We have a 450 million-year-old creature that for the last 45 years has improved the safety of medicines for humans and animals,” said John Dubczak, the executive director of Charles River Laboratories. “Without LAL, you’re not going to be able to produce the billions of inoculations that are going to have to come about to handle this pandemic,” said Tanacredi. Researchers believe horse shoe crabs have less than a decade of survival if more isn’t done to protect them, a species that uniquely protects all of us.

Police Investigating Mysterious Death Of Yixuan Yin, 17, Found Unconscious In Front Yard By Family In Queens
written by VonnieBowman
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Police are investigating the mysterious death of a teenager outside her home in Queens . Crime scene tape surrounds the spot where a mother discovered her 17-year-old daughter, Yixuan Yin, unconscious in their front yard, CBS2’s Natalie Duddridge reported Monday. It happened on 186th street in Fresh Meadows around 1:15 a.m. Monday. A neighbor’s surveillance camera shows not long before, Yin and another person walked up to a van with what appears to be luggage. Then, Yin is seen running down an alleyway after her cat, before eventually heading back towards the street and front yard. It’s not clear what happened next. “She’s helping a lady to move the luggage onto a van or something and then her cat ran away,” said Charlotte Wong, a neighbor. Yin’s family told police their daughter went out to run an errand. They went out to look for her when she didn’t come back and saw her laying in the grass. Investigators said Yin was found with no obvious signs of trauma and was taken to a local hospital where she was pronounced dead. “That’s crazy. That’s sad, that’s sad. Not in this neighborhood. This neighborhood is quiet,” said Dee Benitez.

Hopefully they’ll get to the bottom of it,” said Michelle Isakova. Neighbors said a number of families live in the home, which is divided into separate apartments. One man went inside to pick up two children, but said he was not related to the teen and didn’t know what happened. Police said the tenants were asked to leave the residence during the investigation. The medical examiner is still working to determine if Yin had some kind of undiagnosed medical issue. The investigation is ongoing.

NYPD Officer Facing Federal Charges Of Conspiring To Import And Distribute Cocaine
written by AracelyZTKY
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — An NYPD officer has been arrested and accused of conspiring to import and distribute cocaine. Officer Amaury Abreu was supposed to be upholding the law while he worked at the 113th Precinct, but instead federal prosecutors say he was breaking it by allegedly helping a multinational drug operation import and distribute cocaine in New York, CBS2’s Hazel Sanchez reported Monday. The feds say from January 2016 until October this year, 34-year-old Abreu, of Hauppauge , used his policing expertise to help a multinational drug ring stay one step ahead of the law. MORE : NYPD Officer Arrested, Charged For Alleged Chokehold Arrest On Rockaway Boardwalk While other alleged members of the operation distributed the cocaine after it arrived in New York, Abreu, while assigned to the 113th Precinct in Queens, allegedly provided them with law enforcement intel, including a head’s up on warrant checks involving members of the group. Prosecutors say he was in regular contact with high-ranking members of the unidentified drug organization, even traveling to the Dominican Republic to meet with them.

Added NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea , “There is no place for corruption in the NYPD and it will always be prosecuted fully.” Abreu, a nine-year veteran of the force, was arrested at his home on Monday morning and arraigned in the afternoon. He pleaded not guilty to all of the charges. Three of his alleged co-conspirators are also under arrest.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Two newborn baby boys were found dead in the Bronx on Monday. It was a tragic and hectic scene in the Claremont section of the borough. CBS2’s Ali Bauman has learned police are speaking to multiple people at the scene, trying to piece together how the babies died and who their parents are. Sources told CBS2 the building’s superintendent found the babies wrapped in brown paper outside behind the building. Emergency responders were then called at around 2 p.m. to an apartment building on College Avenue and East 171st Street. When they arrived police found the two newborn boys unconscious and abandoned in an outdoor common area in the back of the building, which is just beside Claremont Park. An ambulance took them to Bronx Lebanon Hospital, where they were pronounced dead. “This is very, very early on in our investigation. We’re asking the public for help. If you can, if you know something, can you please call 1-800 577-TIPS with any information you have. It would really help the investigation here,” an NYPD spokesman said. Police said it’s unclear if the babies are related. Officers were canvassing the area for surveillance video to see if they can identify the two boys and find out what exactly happened to them.

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy Announces Indoor Dining Restrictions; ‘We Have To Shake Off The Pandemic Fatigue’
written by DelphiaHely
TRENTON, N.J. (CBSNewYork) — New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy on Monday announced bars and restaurants statewide must close indoor dining by 10 p.m. starting Nov. 12. Outdoor dining, takeout and delivery service may continue past 10 p.m., the governor said at a coronavirus briefing. “Looking at the data, we are taking surgical steps that we hope will help mitigate the current increasing rate of spread. No one up here wants to take the type of broad and all encompassing actions like those we had to take in March,” said Murphy. MORE: New Jersey Business Owners Bracing For Tightened Restrictions As COVID-19 Cases Continue To Climb Statewide Indoor service may not resume until 5 a.m., Murphy said. The indoor capacity limit remains at 25 percent. Casinos are also required to follow the late-night, indoor dining restrictions, which will not impact gaming operations. “We have to shake off the pandemic fatigue that I know we all feel. I feel it as well,” said Murphy. “We have to get back into the mindset that saw us crush the curve in the spring.” Watch Gov. Murphy’s Press Conference: Seating at bars will be prohibited during all hours when the new restrictions take effect. The governor said restaurants may place tables closer than six feet apart if they are separated by barriers in order to accommodate customers who would ordinarily sit at the bar. Officials said there is evidence that people sitting at the bar, having drinks and close conversations, are spreading the virus. In addition to the indoor restrictions, Murphy announced restaurants will be allowed to construct heated tents – or “bubbles” – around outdoor tables as long as they are limited to one group of diners each and are thoroughly cleaned. The announcements came as COVID rates rise across the Tri-State Area . New Jersey is recording an average of more than 2,300 new cases per day. Hospitalizations are also climbing, too.

Monday’s announcement was yet another round of bad news for Teddy Perides, who owns Biagio’s Ristorante in Paramus. “I’ll be honest with you, my stomach, it turned, because we though we’d go back to normal. Little by little. This was like we got hit with a sledgehammer,” Perides told CBS2’s Nick Caloway. While most customers finish eating by 10 p.m., closing early is devastating for revenue from the bar and private events. It could have massive impacts statewide. Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop said COVID doesn’t know what time it is, and curfews on restaurants could do more harm than good. “It seems to me that if you put restrictions or curfews on restaurants, you’re only going to be pushing more people into the small gatherings in the home area, which is a big spreader,” Fulop said. The new restrictions will also affect some youth sports, which must travel between different states in order to compete. Starting Nov. 12, all interstate competition for indoor youth sports up to and including high school are banned.
