Love v. Board of Elections , 153 A.D.2d 539 ( 1989 )

Order, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Lewis Friedman, J.), entered August 18, 1989, which validated respondent Colon’s petition for designation as a candidate in the Democratic Party for election to the office of Council Member, 11th Councilmanic District, unanimously reversed, on the law and the facts, and the petition invalidated, without costs. Respondent’s cover sheet was defective in that it included in the number of signatures (6,940) some 1,099 signatures or 15.8% which were from outside of the district and thus invalid.
