At the New York congressional primaries on June 26, the Reform Party had arranged for all write-ins to be counted in its primary for the 15th U.S. House district. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez won that nomination, with 9 write-ins. No names were printed on the ballot. There were also 13 write-ins for other individuals, none of whom got as many as Ocasio-Cortez. Therefore, she was considered nominated.
However, she declined the nomination, because she is also running as the Democratic nominee in the 14th district, and New York state law doesn’t let individuals run for two offices simultaneously. See this story. Thanks to Frank Morano for the link.
I’ll take the nomination…
Cost per vote ???
@DR,
Can we put a cost on freedom?
JR —
Most of the USA, State, local government spending and INSANE debts are NOT about freedom —
are about totally corrupt special interest looting schemes.
For old/new folks —
NO primaries.
PR and AppV
I hope while Curtis Silwa is in Albany seeking publicity and sticking his nose in some local problems relating to crime that the people don’t want him involved in that someone takes a minute to ask him why his political party that’s supposed to be about fiscal responsibility is causing such a drain on the state.
