PRESS RELEASE: Niagara County DEMS, NAACP Leader, Stand with Working Families Party
On Saturday April 17 outside the County Courthouse Building, numerous Niagara County Democratic Leaders and the Niagara Branch NAACP President stood with the Working Families Party in opposition to two Niagara County Republican lawsuits aimed at subverting the election process.
Recently the Niagara County Republican Party filed a lawsuit in an attempt to remove the endorsed Working Families Party candidates from the ballot because of a technicality regarding authorization forms. They are challenging the authenticity of the signature of the WFP Chairperson on the form since it was submitted electronically. According to executive order[1] signed by Governor Cuomo, a public notary may notarize a transmitted copy, among other safety provisions to the election process during the pandemic.
