Amedore defends lead in court

Republican Assemblyman George Amedore's legal team has filed its response to the challenge being brought by Democrat Cecilia Tkaczyk.

Tkaczyk is appealing the ruling of acting state Supreme Court Judge Guy Tomlinson, which declared Amedore the winner of the 46th Senate District by 37 votes. They're bringing the case to the appellate division, where they'll argue that hundreds of additional ballots should be counted.

Below is the responding argument, which I will eventually read, from Amedore's team.
