New York State Court Hears Arguments in Whether Legislature Can Delegate Ballot Access Law Changes to a Commission

On December 12, a state supreme court judge in Niagara County heard arguments in Hurley v Public Campaign Financing & Election Commission, and Jastrzemski v Public Campaign Financing & Election Commission. These are the two similar lawsuits that argue the New York legislature cannot delegate to a commission the power to revise the ballot access laws. The Hurley case was filed by the Working Families Party and is case E169547-2019. The Jastrzemski case was filed by the Conservative Party and is E169561-2019.

Here is a news story about the hearing. Thanks to Jim Riley for the link. UPDATE: also see this Buffalo News story.

  1. 7,000 signatures for a new party is reasonable. More than that is suspect in my opinion.

  2. If the NY gerrymander oligarchs can delegate their legis power to appointed hacks, then what is next ???

    ONE person appointed TYRANT HACKS for CONTROL of the exec and judic branches — or even all 3 branches — the NY New Age Leader – TYRANT ???

    See Mussolini, Hirohito, Hitler — the Axis top killers/enslavers in WW II.
