Similar Handwriting (SH)

The objectors alleged that the signatures appearing in volume 542, sheet 64, lines 7

and 8 should be invalidated based on the "similar handwriting" objection. Upon review of

the signatures set forth on the petition sheet, as well i-1s each voter's registration record, the

court finds that the signature appearing on line 8 matches the voter's registration record

and is therefore valid. However, the c:omt finds that tile signature on line 7 does not match

the voter's registration record and, in fact, appears to be written in handwriting similar to

that on line 8, thereby invalidating that signature.

Subscribing Witness - Karen McCreary

As to subscribing witness Karen McCreary;: counsel for objectors argued that all

signatures witnessed by Ms. McCreary should be invalidated on the basis that she has

committed fraud throughout her witnessed petition pages as they contain signatures with

"strikingly similar hand\vriting.'' Initially, the court finds that the objectors have failed to

allege fraud with the requisite specificity (see Matter ofBaldeo v Board ofElections in the

Cityo/New York, 205 AD3d844, 845-846 [2d Dept2023]; Matter ofMalone v Rockland

County Bd. of Elections, 110 AD3d 723, 723 [2d Dept 2013]; Matter of Robinson v

Edwards, 54 AD3d 682, 683 [2d Dept 2008]). Here, objectors' bill of-particulars was not

sufficiently detaUed to apprise the respondent.,.candiclate of the allegations being made

against. . the sheets. witnessed by· McCreary. In this regard, the bill of particulars. . only

addresses volume 542, sheet 10. As to that sheet, the objectors submitted an affidavit from

Candida Mejia, whose name is listed as the signatory qn vohime 542, sheet 1O; line 4. Ms.

Mejia states that she reviewed the petition sheetatissue and avers that she never signed. a

designating petition to support respondent-candidate Gates as a candidate for this position

and that her signature had beeh forged (NYSCEF Doc No. 12). In addition, upon review

of the ten signatures on sheet 10, the court finds that all of the signatures appear to be,in

the same 1'strikingly similar handwriting/' as contended by the objectors. As a resuU, the

four signatures that were not n.iled invalid on other grounds are hereby found to be invalid.

However, asto the other sheets witnessed by this subscribing witness, the objectors

failed to specifically plead in their bill of particulars 1 which other pages McCreary

witnessed and merely seek to invalidate every signature she witnessed based on the

invalidation of sheet 10 due to the forged/similar handwriting allegation (see Matter of

Baldeo; 205 AD3d at 845-846 [holding that the objectors failed to allege fraud with the

requisite specificity where they failed to specifically identify, among other things, the page

nuinbets and line numbers of the purportedly fraudulent signatures and failed to indicate

the total nwnber of signatures objected to J; Matter of Malone, 110 AD3d at 723;Matterof

Robinson, Edwards, 54 AD3d at 683). Moreover, the objectors failed to proffer any

evidence (i.e., copies of signatories' voter registration records) of forgery and/or similar

handwritingas to any other signatures witnessed by McCreary.

¹ The Kings CoutitY Specjal Election Part Rules provide that. ('In matters aliegihg questions of fraud, a ~ornplete

written offer of proofinc!u ding a statement as to the number ofwitnesses expected to be. called, the identification of each such witness (by name, address, volume, page and line) and the s.tatus of each such witness (i.e., candidate; signatory, subscribing witness, notary public1 etc.... ),shall be filed.with the Court no later than the time the calendar call on the fih;t retur~ date. Failure to serve and file such offer of proof shall be deemed .a waiver and'fur'ther proof shall be. precluded."

Respondent-Cqndidate 's Exceptions to Line-By-Line Review

The special referees ruled that all of the signatures on sheets 36 and 37 in Volume

542 were invalid. On sheet 36, the signatures are all dated between March 15 th and March

J7th (2024). However. in the subscribing witness statement, the subscribing witness set

forth multiple dates :("March 14, 15 2024"), rather than 011e date, next tb his sig:nature.

Additionally, .on sheet 3 7, all of the signatures are dated between March 17th and March

20th (2024). However, the subscribing \vitneirn again set forth multiple dates (''March 14,

JS, 2024'') next to his signature. The court finds that the special referees properly

invalidated all.signatures·on thesesheets(see MacKayvCochran, 264AD2d 699, 699-700

[2d Dept 1999] [noting that ''Election Law § 6-132 (2) requires that each sheet of a

designating petition must contain a statement ofa subscribing witness which shall be dated

and signed by that witness. The date is a matter' of prescribed content and therefore strict

compliance is required"]; see also lvfatter Avella v Johnson, 142 AD3d 1111, 1113 [2d

Dept20l6] [failure of subscribing witness to include the date next to his or her signature

<-lll certain designating petition sheets rendered the signatures on those sheets invalid]).

Here, the subscribing witness on these t\vo sheets placed multiple dates in the witness

statement, which in and of itself is impermissible. Indeed, it is unclear as to when the

subscribing witness actually witnessed signatures or when said subscribing witness signed

the witr1ess statement'. Moreover, in sev~ral instances, the dates listed in the witn~ss

statements. are prior to the dates appeadng.next to s1gnatories··(see generally·Matter of

Stevens v Collins, 120 AD3d 696. [2d Dept 2014] [signatures dated ane:r the date of the

notary's j urat purporting to authenticate signatures were. invalidated]}.

Based upon all of the foregoing, a total of 17 additional signatures are invalidated,

rendering the total number of val id signatures in respondent-candidate Sabrina Gates'

designating petition for the party position of Member of the Democratic State Committee

from the 52nd AD to 515 (532 - 17 = 515).

Accordingly, it is

ORDERED that the petition to invalidate is denied. This constitutes the decision, order and judgment of the court.

[1] of 31 [* 1] Affidavits/ Affomations in Reply _ _ _ _ _ __ Other Papers: BOE voter registration records Exhibits· 1-22 Upon the foregoing papers, petitioner-objector Theresa M11yer and petitiom:r- ca:ndidate aggrieved Lydia B. Green (collectively the objectors) seek an order declaring invalid respondent-candidate Sabrina Gates' (respondent;.candidate) designating petition for the party po;;ition of Member of the Democratic State Committee from the 52nd Assembly District, New York State, in theDetnocratic primary election to be held on June 25, 2024. Respondent'."candidate filed a dc:signating petition for this position with the New York City Board of Elections (the Board) consisting of three volumes (KG 24000541, KG 24000542 and KG 54000572 (hereinafter volume 54L volume 542 and volume 572~ respectively). Subsequently, the objectors filed general and specifications of objections· against the designating petition. TheBoardfeviewed the specifications ofobjections and prepared a clerk's report which found that the designating petition contained 513 valid signatures, which was 13 more than the 500 valid signatures required for placementon the ballot for this position .. The clerk's report was·later adopted by the Board's Commissioners. Court-'appointed special referees conducted a line-by,..Iine review of the Board's "As Specified'" (AS} and •"Not as Specified'" {NAS) rulings, as well as de novo specifications of objections to the_ designating petition that were filed with the court by the objectors on the return date, April 22, 2024. The special referees found that the designating petition contained 533 valid signatures. 2

[2] of 31 [* 2] On April 30, 2024, the parties appeared before this>court, at which pointthe special referees' report was read into the record. The courtnotes that upon further review of the special referees' rulings on the spec_ifications of objections, a mathematical error was detected in Volume 541, on sheet 15 in that there were only 5 valid signatures_. not 6 as previously reported by the special referees, bringing; the total number of valid signaturesto

[532] rather than 533. Following the special referees' report, counsel for the objectors and the respondent-candidate presented their exceptions to the special referees' rulings. Upon a carefulreview, the court sustained the following exceptions which fell into the categories set forth below: Objectors' Exceptions to Line-By-Line Review Printed Signature (PR) The objectors contested several of the special referees' rillihgs detertnining that a signature was not a print. After reviewing copies of the voter registration records of all contested signatories (which was sul:nnitted by objectors), the court ovenules five of the special referees' rulings pertaining to signatures appearing at: (1) volume 542, sheet 14, line 8; {2}volwne 542, sheet 39, line 6; (3) volume 542, sheet 49, line 7; (4) volume 542, sheet 60, line 4; and (5) volume 542, sheet 60, line 9. As to these signatures, the court finds that they were in fact printed, which is contrary to the cursive signature appearing on each signatory's voter registration record. Therefore, the above-referenced.signatures are invalidated, 3 3 of 31 [* 3] Signatory Not Registered at Address Stated in Board's Records(NR) In Volume 572, sheet 4, lirie 1, signatory Lee Seltzer affixed the address 129 Smith Street, Brooklyn, next to his signature. This address is lbcated in the 52nd Assembly District, the district involved herein. Bo"vever, a review of the Board;s records indicates that Seltzer is registered to vote at 298 12 th Streetin Brooklyn, which is located in the 44th Assembly District Accordingly, the court overrules the special referees' determination artd finds that this signature is invalid (see generally Robleto v Gowda; 183 AD3d 673 [2020]). Out of District (OD} The special referees ruled that the signature in volume 572, sheet 17, at line 7 was valid. The signature was objected to on the basis that the address listed adjacent to the signature on this line was out of district The court overrules the special referees' ruling as a review of the Board's records indicated that the address listed on the petition sheet is not focated within the 52 nd Assembly District and, thus, is but bf district and invalid; Subscribing Witness No:Nante (SWNN) In vol urne 5 41, at sheet 15, the subscribing witness failed to insert a printed naine m the subscribing witness statement section and the subscribing witness' signature appearing at the bottom portion of the witness stateinent is completely illegible. As the identity ofthe subscribingwitness could not be detennined based on their signature alone, the court finds that the five signatures that were found vali4 on this sheet by the special referees.. ate invalid.. 4 4 of 31 [* 4]
