Election Count: Ballot-scanner problems in Westchester County delayed counting at polling sites, leaving some races unresolved. Marathon Tragedy: Rachel Apa, 24, died after collapsing near the finish of her first New York City Marathon; her death was linked to rhabdomyolysis, a rare muscle condition.
