Both campaigns in the Queens District Attorney Democratic Primary race are calling for every eligible vote to be counted.

For now, the battle over affidavit ballots appears to be on hold as a manual recount gets underway, CBS2’s Hazel Sanchez reported.

The Board of Elections was to begin organizing the ballots Tuesday, but not start the manual recount until Wednesday. While the camps for Melinda Katz and Tiffany Caban have been battling out over the count, they are agreeing that every valid vote should be counted.

The Democratic nominee in the race is still up in the air, with the uncertainty seemingly dividing the party. Queens County Democratic Chair Gregory Meeks is calling for unity.

“We’re here today because we want to support this Democratic process,” Meeks said. “We want every valid vote counted!”
