Adjunct Professor Jerry Goldfeder was quoted in a Wall Street Journal article about the recent clashes between Rep. Joe Crowley and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez over concession calls. Last month Ocasio-Cortez won the Democratic primary in New York’s 14th congressional district, defeating the incumbent, Democratic Caucus Chair Joe Crowley.
“It’s a ballot switcheroo charade that [Crowley] doesn’t want to participate in,” said Jerry H. Goldfeder, a longtime election lawyer and adjunct professor at Fordham Law School. “That’s very respectful of the voters.”
