On July 1, Todd Sloan, an independent candidate for U.S. House in New York’s 24th district, filed a lawsuit in state court to get on the ballot. He needed 3,500 valid signatures. He had enough, except that all the signatures collected by one of his petitioners were invalidated because the petitioner listed a residence address that doesn’t match his residence address on his voter registration form. The lawsuit is filed in Albany County Supreme Court. See this story. Sloan argues that the law doesn’t require the petitioner’s address on the petitions to match the address on the voter registration records.
