A New York State Constitutional Convention (Con-Con) Supporter, Evan Davis, a former Counsel to New York Gov. Mario Cuomo, sought to have the Con-Con Ballot Question Placed on the Front of the November General Election Ballot for Better Voter Attention.
Currently it will be on the Back of the Ballot, with Two other Questions.
Davis is Challenging the Ballot Placement given it’s the First Time in Recent Political History, the Once every 20 Year Referendum is being put to Voters on a Paper Ballot, not a Lever Machine.
A State Supreme Court Justice Rejected his Complaint against the State Board of Elections.
Davis Plans to Appeal.
“I am disappointed that the Court has declined to order that the Convention Question be on the front of the ballot,” Davis said. “The Question is mandated by the State Constitution, arises once every 20 years, and consists of only 13 words. When placed on the back of the ballot, too many voters will not see it and will lose their constitutional right to correct state government. I, therefore, plan to appeal directly to the New York Court of Appeals as permitted by state law.”
