N.Y. Rep. Charlie Rangel’s win in last Tuesday’s primary has gone from solid to tentative.
State Sen. Adriano Espaillat, Rangel’s opponent in the Democratic primary, challenged the vote-counting process in the 13th District, alleging Monday that voters were improperly turned away from the poll — including members of his own family, according to the New York Post.
