“It’s starting to rival the 2016 presidential primary with Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, which was a record for Onondaga County at the time and I think we’ll be challenging that,” added Czarny.

“Because there are so many absentees and they look to dwarf Election Day and early voting totals at this point, we just won’t have a good sense of who actually won the race until the absentees are opened,” Czarny said.

Results not expected for days in tight primaries next week – Politico.com
“I think the in-person vote totals from early voting and Election Day may be as low as 30 percent of the overall totals,” said Dustin Czarny, the Democratic commissioner of the Syracuse-area Onondaga County Board of Elections. “My guess is we’re going to be waiting at least a week or two after the primary to know who the winners are, and it may be longer. … If somebody’s in a tight race, and they want to have their lawyer there supervising the count, that could slow things down even more.”
