Thanks to Richard Winger of Ballot Access News for this post.
On April 19th, Joshua Eisen, an Independent Candidate for New York U.S. House, 17th District, filed a Lawsuit for Ballot Access Relief.
New York's 17th Congressional District is a House Seat located in Southern New York. It includes All of Rockland County, and Portions of Central and Northwestern Westchester County, including the City of White Plains and the Tappan Zee Bridge.
Nita Lowey (D) is the Incumbent since Jan. 3rd, 2013. Lowey announced that she would Not seek Re-Election in 2020.
The Case is Eisen v Cuomo, 54542/2020, Westchester County Supreme Court.
The Current Law requires 3,500 Signatures between Early April and Late May.
Governor Andrew Cuomo (D) has moved the Primary to June 23rd.
Cuomo has Ordered that the Start Date for such Petitions be put off into the Future, but he has Not yet Announced what the New Start date should be.
Cuomo has Not Cut the Number of Signatures for Independent Candidates for any Office, even though some time ago, he Cut the Number of Signatures for Party Primary Candidates down to 30% of the Legal Requirement.
Eisen asks that Electronic Signatures be Permitted, and that the Number of Signatures for U.S. House be cut from 3,500 to 1,000.
