IN THIS ELECTION LAW CASE, THE SIGNATORIES’ NAMES WERE PRINTED ON THE DESIGNATING PETITION BUT WERE INSCRIBED ON THE VOTER REGISTRATION FORMS; SUPREME COURT PROPERLY ACCEPTED PROOF THAT THE SIGNATORIES WHOSE NAMES WERE PRINTED WERE IN FACT THE SAME AS THOSE WHOSE SIGNATURES WERE ON THE REGISTRATION FORMS (FOURTH DEPT).

The Fourth Department determined Supreme Court properly received evidence that signatories whose names were printed on the independent nominating petition were in fact the same as those whose signatures were inscribed on the voter registration forms:

It is well settled that [t]o prevent fraud and allow for a meaningful comparison of signatures when challenged, a signature on a designating petition should be made in the same manner as on that signatory’s registration form” … . Nevertheless, where there is “credible evidence from the signatories or from any of the subscribing witnesses attesting to the fact that the individuals who signed the registration forms were the same individuals whose signatures appeared on the independent nominating petition,” the signatures are valid, notwithstanding a discrepancy with the voter registration forms … . Here, respondents submitted affidavits from 21 of the 47 signatories with printed signatures in which they attested that they were the same individuals whose signatures appeared on the independent nominating petition. Based on those affidavits, which the court properly received in evidence, we conclude that the court did not err in determining that petitioner failed to meet her burden of proof with respect to the invalidity of those 21 signatures … . Matter of Maclay v Dipasquale, 2021 NY Slip Op 05013, Fourth Dept 9-16-21
