NEWSFLASH!
In a contentious bid for the single New York County Civil Court seat now open in the 9th District, Mary Rosado and Andrea Masley, the two Democratic Party candidates, each filed challenges to the other's petitions.
At a hearing held earlier today before the Commissioners of the New York City Board of Elections, the Board found that of the 6,274 signatures submitted by Rosado, only 1,320 were valid. Masley had 7,904 signatures, of which 1,918 were valid. (1500 signatures are required to get on New York County's Primary Election ballot.)
The Commissioners adjourned the matter for a week to afford the Rosado team time to rehabilitate some of the invalid signatures.
Will Rosado make it onto the ballot?
We'll keep you posted!
