'For legislators and policymakers, the message is the same: Don't wait to align your policies until a close election and a contentious recount or a debacle on Nov. 4,' one voting rights advocate tells ABC News.
Maloney, the chair of the House Oversight Committee, won the race by roughly 3,500 votes, according to The Associated Press' call of the race following the certification of the results.
With the state working to accommodate the unprecedented number of requests for ballots, some voters did not receive them in time, while others were not properly postmarked by the Postal Service and discarded. Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., speaks during a House Committee on Oversight and Reform hearing on the 2020 Census on Capitol Hill, July 29, 2020.
Patel, who faced criticism from Maloney that his refusal to concede was elevating Trump's comments about the race, pushed back on the president's assertions. If there's a lesson to be drawn from the contested New York primary, it's that states shouldn't wait until November to prepare for the election, especially those states that don't have experience dealing with significant levels of absentee voting.

Secret Service Escort Trump From Press Briefing To Fulfill Promise Of Letting President Watch Them Shoot SomeoneWASHINGTON—Clarifying their actions surrounding their abrupt removal of the president from the White House press room, Secret Service officials confirmed to reporters Tuesday that they had escorted Donald Trump from his briefing to fulfill their promise of letting him watch them shoot someone. “As soon as we heard reports of an armed suspect on White House grounds, we immediately moved the president to a secure location where he’d be able to watch us fill that bastard with lead,” said Secret Service director James M. Murray, commending agents for quickly springing into action to interrupt the briefing and neutralize the threat of the president not getting to see a guy get shot in front of his eyes. “Of course, ensuring the president has a front-row seat to our agents mowing down a guy in the Rose Garden is Secret Service protocol, but we don’t always see it put into action, unfortunately. It was an incredibly stressful moment, especially trying to usher him into position, but I was so relieved to see that big smile on the president’s face. There have been some close calls over President Trump’s tenure, especially in Lafayette Square back in June, so we’re just glad we were able to get him out there yesterday in time to watch the whole thing unfold.” The Secret Service also confirmed that they had taken the additional step of sequestering Vice President Mike Pence at an unspecified remote location during the threat so that he could watch the agents shoot someone through a telescope.
