Democrat Anthony Brindisi has won the race for New York's 22nd Congressional District, defeating incumbent Republican Claudia Tenney with nearly all absentee ballots tallied.

Results from absentee votes Tuesday afternoon gave Brindisi a lead too large for Tenney to overcome.

The race was too close to call on election day two weeks ago. Brindisi finished the day with a 1,293 vote lead over Tenney. Tenney said she would not concede until learning the results of more than 15,000 absentee ballots.

With nearly all those absentee ballots counted in the district, Tenney now has no possible chance for victory.

Brindisi grew his lead as each county reported absentee totals.

Tuesday afternoon, the Oneida County Board of Elections reported absentee ballots had been counted in 109 of 192 election districts. Oneida County is the last of eight counties in the district to finish counting absentee ballots.

Brindisi won 1,529 of the Oneida County absentees, compared to 755 for Tenney. Even if Tenney won all of the 1,881 remaining ballots, she would still come up short of Brindisi.

Tenney has not conceded and her campaign has not responded to requests for comment.

Brindisi released a statement Tuesday evening claiming victory.

"As I said on Election night, I'll work to be a representative for our entire community," he said. "I'm humbled that I'll have the honor to represent this district in Congress. Now that this campaign is behind us, I look forward to a smooth transition with Congresswoman Tenney to ensure that we hit the ground running in January."

At the end of Tuesday, Brindisi led Tenney 125,925 to 121,957.
