| Description | Jane L. Corwin's unsuccessful congressional campaign came to an official end at noon today as State Supreme Court Justice Russell P. Buscaglia signed her attorney's order officially canceling a hearing that had been scheduled for Thursday on vote-counting issues in the hotly contested 26th District race.
Dennis C. Vacco, Corwin's campaign attorney, assured the judge he will notify attorneys for Congresswoman-elect Kathleen C. Hochul and all others linked to the court fight by 2 p.m. that Thursday's "hearing is now moot."
Vacco told the judge the election law court challenge had been "predicated on pre-election polls hinting at "a very close outcome." The action was action designed to ensure that all votes cast were fairly counted in the seven-county district.
Vacco said he was glad he had not sought a court order Tuesday morning impounding all voting equipment, given that the pre-election polls were "inaccurate" and thousands of dollars of taxpayer funds would have been needlessly spent securing the impounded equipment. |
