THE DESIGNATING PETITIONS INCLUDED THE NAMES OF CANDIDATES WHO DID NOT AGREE TO BE LISTED; THE PETITIONS WERE THEREFORE PROPERLY INVALIDATED ON THE GROUND OF FRAUD (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department determined Supreme Court properly invalidated appellants’ designating petitions because they included the names of candidates who did not consent to be listed on the petitions:

… [A] designating petition will be invalidated upon a showing that the entire petition is permeated with fraud … . Here, the petitioners demonstrated by clear and convincing evidence that the designating petitions of the appellants … were permeated with fraud, as it is undisputed that those designating petitions included the names of several candidates who never affirmatively agreed to be listed thereon, and the hearing evidence amply supported the Supreme Court’s determination that their inclusion was intentional and designed to mislead others. Thus, these designating petitions were properly invalidated on the ground of fraud … . Matter of Ariola v Maio, 2021 NY Slip Op 03988, Second Dept 6-17-21
