Misspellings Did Not Render Signatures Invalid

The Third Department affirmed Supreme Court’s ruling that misspellings in the petition did not create confusion about the party and person referred to and, therefore, the relevant signatures were valid:

…[T]he term “Democratic” appears on various sheets of the petition as “Demoratic,” “Demotatic” and “Demacatic.”  These minor misspellings, however, would not tend to confuse the signatories as to the political party involved and nothing in the record indicates an intent to do so … .  Similarly, although petitioner’s last name is spelled on one sheet of the petition as “Mannaurino” and on another as “Mannano,” there has been no showing of any intention to mislead or confuse, nor is there any evidence that the inaccuracy would or did tend to mislead signatories as to the identity of the candidate… .  Matter of Mannarino v Goodbee, 517215, 3rd Dept 8-15-13
