Adelphi’s Kathleen Watchorn and Shannon Lane were featured in a story about the absentee ballot voting process.

“Absentee ballots are opened by election officials and counted with all other ballots,” Shannon Lane, Professor in the School of Social Work at Adelphi University who has worked in the Senate for over 10 years, said. “Even if they arrive after election day, they are still counted as long as they were postmarked by November 7, the day before the election.”
