petition challenge update

August 6, 2018

In case you missed it, Antonio Delgado is trying to remove three third-party candidates from the ballot in November as negative headlines about his campaign continue to pile up.

Via the Albany Times Union:

A donor to Democratic congressional candidate Antonio Delgado has filed general objections to the petitions filed by three independent candidates in the race.

The petitions filed in the 19th Congressional District, which is represented by freshman Republican John Faso, were challenged by Rima Liscum, a member of the Rhinebeck Democratic Committee. The petitions were filed by actress Diane Neal, on the “Friends of Diane Neal” line, Dal LaMagna, on the “Hudson Valley Happiness” line, and Luisa Parker, on the “Making the Impossible” line.

Stay tuned, I have a feeling this won’t be Delgado’s last desperate attempt to salvage his flailing campaign…
