28.501
This vote total is misformatted. Garbarino’s 2012 total was 28,501 votes, not 28.501.
Full reasoning
The official New York State Board of Elections contest data for the 2012 general election, State Assembly District 7 lists Andrew R. Garbarino’s ballot-line votes as 22,174 (Republican) + 4,672 (Conservative) + 1,414 (Independence) + 241 (MSP), which totals 28,501.
The article prints that total as “28.501”, which is numerically incorrect in English notation. This appears to be a punctuation/formatting error where a comma was replaced by a decimal point.

He defeated Assemblyman Mike LiPetri, 65% to 35%.
The official 2020 Republican primary results were about 63.9% for Garbarino and 36.1% for LiPetri, not 65%–35%.
Full reasoning
Official New York State Board of Elections contest data for the June 23, 2020 Republican primary in New York’s 2nd Congressional District shows Andrew R. Garbarino with 17,459 votes and Mike LiPetri with 9,866 votes.
Using those candidate totals, Garbarino received about 63.9% of the two-candidate vote and LiPetri about 36.1%. So the article’s “65% to 35%” description is not correct; it overstates Garbarino’s margin by more than a full percentage point.
