Pearl River, NY – 10/8/2024… Today, the Lawler for Congress campaign released a statement slamming a last-ditch effort to subvert democracy and kick an opponent of Mondaire Jones off the ballot. Allies of Mondaire Jones’ campaign have even gone so far as to claim that this opponent “stole” the election in June. This lawsuit comes weeks after voting has begun and threatens to disenfranchise thousands of absentee voters, including military and civilians overseas, who have already received ballots and returned them.

“Mondaire Jones and his allies know he can’t win on the issues, so they’re resorting to dirty tricks to try and kick a primary-winning candidate off the ballot,” said Chris Russell, spokesman for the Lawler campaign. “In this effort, they’ve turned to Democrats on the courts in an effort to salvage what has been a train-wreck of a campaign.”

“The argument they’re making would have catastrophic impacts on election law for New York State – if the judge rules in Jones’ favor, it would establish that any candidate, at any time, can sue any other candidate that has won a primary to kick them off the ballot,” concluded Russell. “If that’s not election denialism, I don’t know what is.”
