Fordham Law Adjunct Professor Jerry H. Goldfeder, director of Fordham Law School’s Voting Rights and Democracy Project, wrote about whether Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa will continue their campaigns for New York City Mayor, in this amNY op-ed.
With the Democratic mayoral primary finally behind us, one would think that New York City voters can finally take a breath. It seems, however, that the November general election is already upon us. Will Andrew Cuomo continue his campaign? Will Republican candidate for mayor Curtis Sliwa take a job in President Trump’s administration? I have no idea, but I will tell you this: It is a 99% certainty that their names will be on the ballot this November no matter what. That is because the laws relating to our elections are more unreasonable and impracticable than they should be. The only way their names would be removed is if, God forbid, they died.
