knocked off the primary ballot amid fraud allegations, ruling that a technical error outweighed “substantial evidence” that his campaign submitted fake signatures in order to qualify.
Judge Jeffrey T. Karp ruled that Michael Walsh, the state Republican Party’s endorsed pick for attorney general, should have his name put back on the September ballot, overturning a decision handed down last month by the State Ballot Law Commission, which found that hundreds of signatures Walsh submitted were likely fake.
The decision turned on technical grounds, and more specifically, the mail.
