Greenberg Launching Challenge to Assembly Gerrymandering

Gary Greenberg and his legal counsel, Jim Walden of Walden Macht & Haran, will hold a press conference on Wednesday, May 4, 2022 at 9:00am ET to announce a constitutional challenge to gerrymandering of New York State Assembly voting districts. The lawsuit requests that the Court:

• Delay the primary election date for the Assembly from June 28 to August 23, 2022 to allow the Special Master time to redraw voting districts in accordance with the New York State Constitution.

• Enjoin the mailing of Assembly ballots for military personnel serving overseas until July 8, 2022.

• Invalidate petitions submitted by existing candidates for any office, including for the New York State Assembly and Senate, U.S. House of Representatives and State-wide offices, for any petition containing signatories who fall outside the newly drawn districts.

• Re-open a petitioning period for every race, including for the New York State Assembly and Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and for state-wide offices such as Governor and Attorney, allowing new candidates to seek office based on the newly drawn election districts.

The submitted legal filing will be provided to attendees of the press conference.
