2012 special election
Storobin defeated Lewis Fidler (D) in the March 20, 2012, special election. Fidler also ran on the Independence Party ticket. Storobin also ran on the Conservative Party ticket. Storobin had 11,097 votes to Fidler's 11,084 votes.[6]
Note: After a contested result, legal wrangling and a hand recount, Lewis Fidler (D) conceded the election to Storobin on May 31. The hand recount revealed that Storobin had won by 13 votes. During the legal process, each side accused the other of vote fraud, and a significant number of absentee ballots were disputed. On May 14, the Board of Elections decided to recount the votes by hand.[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]
