On July 6, Republican congressional candidate Philip Pidot withdrew his lawsuit over forcing New York to hold another Republican primary in the 3rd U.S. House district, but he will re-file it very soon. See this story.

He petitioned to be on the Republican primary ballot, but was told he didn’t have enough valid signatures. Later a state court ruled that he did have enough valid signatures, but it was too late to do anything about it. He then filed in federal court, arguing that the state must therefore hold a new primary just in his district, with his name on the ballot.
