With 75 percent of votes accounted for, GOP incumbent Michael Nozzolio was ahead of Democratic opponent Ed O'Shea by 69 percent in the race for the 54th state Senate District seat.
Nozzolio had received 10,520 votes in Wayne County by shortly after 1 a.m., topping O’Shea, who had received 4,072 votes.
Election officials received reports of election results from 40 of the 67 districts in Wayne County before stopping for the night shortly after 1 a.m. Wednesday morning. Wayne County sheriff’s deputies arrived at the Board of Elections office on Montezuma Street in Lyons to impound all the results still being tabulated. Counts will resume Wednesday morning at 9 a.m.
Districts across the county were slow to report voting numbers due to problems reading the tapes, some of which were physically brought to the Board of Elections office.
Nozzolio got his start in politics in the state assembly in 1983. In 1993, he was elected to the senate to represent the 54th district.
O’Shea, an English professor at the State University of New York at Oswego, is a newcomer to the political arena, although he is vice chair for the Wayne County Democratic Committee.
Nozzolio and O'Shea were unavailable for comment.
