Your News Now Rochester has reported that Rochester business owner Alex
White, who had filed over 1500 signatures to run for mayor on the Green
Party line, was thrown off the ballot after the Democratic Party
challenged his signatures and convinced the Board of Elections to reject
over 400 signatures. With White off the ballot, the incumbent Democratic
mayor Bob Duffy will be unopposed for reelection.

The Green Party of Monroe County replied to the Democratic petition
challenge with a post entitled “Call Democrats and demand your democracy
back”.

Transpartisan ballot access crusaders Free And Equal mentioned the
undemocratic behavior of the Rochester Democrats in a press release
entitled “Democrats, Republicans attempt to limit voter choice in New
York State”. [sorry, as a registered NY voter, can't resist an editorial
comment: WHAT A SHOCK!]
