Word on the street is that the Petitions filed by the various candidates for the single New York County Civil Court judgeship are being challenged. (In other words, candidates are trying to knock one or more of their opponents off the ballot for not having the required number of signatures.)
Here's what we learned just moments ago:
Wigberto Astacio, a Richard LaFontaine supporter, filed objections to the Nancy Bannon and Michael Katz petitions.
James Simpson, a Bannon supporter, filed objections to the LaFontaine and Katz petitions.
Lawrence Goodman, Alex Tisch, Joanne Saccone and Jerry Skurnick filed objections to the LaFontaine petitions.
Let the counting begin!
