From Politics on the Hudson:

Senate Republicans released their daily analysis of the Nassau County race, where the GOP’s Jack Martins continues to lead Democratic Sen. Craig Johnson.

Republican spokesman Scott Reif says Martins, the Mineola mayor, leads Johnson by 438 votes, which he calls “insurmountable.”

“More than four weeks after Election Day, Craig Johnson is left with two choices: He can do the right thing and concede this race, as his Democrat colleague in Buffalo did yesterday, or he can continue to tie up state government by arguing for a hand recount of tens of thousands of votes that have already been counted,” Reif said. “It’s time for Craig Johnson to accept the will of the voters of the 7th Senate District, and work with Jack Martins on a smooth and orderly transition. With Martins’ victory, Republicans have won a majority in the State Senate, and are prepared to work with Governor-elect Cuomo in a bipartisan way to solve the fiscal challenges that are before us. We’re hopeful that Craig Johnson won’t delay this State from moving forward by dragging out this election.”
