After
reading about how Carlucci’s candidate tried to break the law by running
without meeting the legal requirements, I decided I’m voting for this David
Fried guy because he had the guts to stand up to Carlucci’s little weasel
buddy.
An Appeals Court reversed the NY Supreme Court decision allowing Dagan Lacorte onto the Democratic primary ballot Wednesday. The appeal panel, which ruled 4-0 against Lacorte, said the validating petition was not sufficiently “particularized” to give notice of which signatures he claimed were improperly invalidated by the Rockland County Board of Elections.
The challenge of Lacorte was brought by electoral foe David Fried, who Lacorte has relentlessly attacked in recent mailings. “Today’s ruling demonstrates the importance of an independent judiciary and the critical role it serves in a healthy democracy. This has been a long, but important process. We collected signatures the right way, relying on door-to-door volunteers talking directly with Rockland Democrats,” Fried said, making light of the fact Lacorte collected many signatures at local supermarkets.
If it is indeed the end of the line for Lacorte the failure to get on the ballot is a shocking anti-climax for the candidate who had raised the most money of any of the four major contenders. Lacorte’s campaign started off rocky early on, when in January he wrong-texted a plan to spy on David Fried directly to Mr. Fried himself, a story which the Rockland County Times famously exposed under the headline “LaCaught.”
Many Rocklanders have continued to refer to Lacorte as simply “Lacaught” since that time. He also caused some controversy by relying heavily on former Assemblyman Ryan Karben for campaign advice and over $100,000 in campaign mailing services.
