Onondaga County Elections Commissioner Dustin Czarny said nearly 50,000 out of the 120,000 absentee ballots he expects to get in the mail have already come in.
He’s still concerned with the board’s ability to afford all the extra work needed to process those votes, saying they could use more state funding.
“We’re having to basically throw money and bodies at the situation to try to help ourselves,” Czarny said.
