On October 18, the New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division, removed the two Democratic Party nominees for Justice of the Supreme Court, 13th district, from the ballot. The 13th district encompasses Staten Island. Voters are electing two members. See this story. One of the two Democratic nominees, Orlando Marrazzo is still on the ballot as the Reform Party nominee. The Working Families Party did not make any nominations in this district.
On October 19, the Appellate Division restored the four Republican nominees for Supreme Court Justice, 5th district, in the Syracuse area. The lower court had removed them because the law says that the person who convenes the nominating convention cannot be the same person as the person who chairs the nominating meeting.
Overseas voters get magic updates via rockets ???
@DR,
New York, a State of Con-fusion, doesn’t worry about non-federal candidates for overseas ballots. That is one reason it has two primaries. The federal primary is earlier to ensure ballots can be sent out overseas 45 days before the general election.
JR —
Cute E-V-I-L contempt by the NY gerrymander HACKS for the NY folks overseas regarding State/Local regimes
— esp. NY troopers fighting barbarians, NY City biz folks and Albany, NY [state capitol] biz and govt. folks.
Yet another reason for —
NO primaries.
Also – 14-2 sanction.

PR and AppV
The NONPARTISAN AppV is for ALL elected exec officers and ALL judges – pending Condorcet.
Related reforms —
limit of 3-12 total judges in trial courts and first appeals court per precinct —
ie NO bedsheet judicial ballots.
See current bedsheet judicial ballots in many urban counties — ie many UN-opposed incumbents.

ONE local govt per precinct — the city — see *citizen* origin.
How many rotted States have such 2 primaries ???
One Fed – Other State/Locals
@DR,
I think New York is the only state with separate primaries except for states that have odd-year state elections. IIRC, New York was being sued for not sending out their federal ballots in time and they agreed to hold an early federal primary. Since then the legislature has never been able to agree on when to hold a single primary. 2012 was the first year for separate primaries.
The federal government should conduct elections overseas. Voters could vote at consulates or other vote centers, including at military bases.
