    By Erin Degregorio on July 2, 2025 Faculty, In the News

    In this op-ed for New York Law Journal, Fordham Law Adjunct Professor Jerry H. Goldfeder, director of Fordham Law School’s Voting Rights and Democracy Project, explores New York’s election laws, particularly the strict deadlines for candidates to withdraw from races. It highlights recent legal efforts to allow late withdrawals in special cases and describes a workaround called the “candidate switcheroo,” where candidates run for multiple offices to bypass withdrawal rules.
