U.S. District Court Judge Frederick Scullin will hold a hearing on Tuesday, August 30, in Pidot v New York State Board of Elections, n.d., 1:16cv-859. The judge had already ruled on August 17 that the Republican Party primary for U.S. House, 3rd district, should be done over again, on October 6.
Two Republicans had filed to be on the June 2016 primary ballot in that race, but one of them was left off the ballot because it was erroneously thought he didn’t have enough valid signatures. The candidate who was omitted, Philip Pidot, then sued and won a right for a new primary with his name on the ballot. But now the other Republican, Jack Martins, wants the general election for that district postponed to December 6. The new hearing is to resolve that request.
Everyone on the North Shore who is a registered Republican is looking forward to voting in four primary elections this year. Has anyone ever been able to vote in four primaries on different dates in one election year ever before this?
The USA election LAW for THE general election DAY is being subverted some more — by the usual MORONS and HACKS.
—
i.e. if there is not enough time for a legal primary, then the regular general election can NOT be held
— i.e. a special primary and or general election must be held.
