SCHENECTADY – Having endorsed Omar McGill for Schenectady County Legislature in the June primary, members of the Working Families Party have taken aim at McGill’s opponent, Brendan Savage, for changing his voter registration to the WFP.
The shift was to subvert the WFP’s control of its ballot line and member-driven endorsement process, Capital District Working Families Party secretary Anita Thayer alleged in a letter to Savage.
Savage shared the letter with the Daily Gazette and denied the claim.
The Siena College student said some of the WFP members’ views about local policing are so extreme, he felt voters should have a choice on the ballot line.
