The Albany Times Union reports that Libertarian candidate Alexander Portelli‘s petitions are being challenged by the Republican Party.

Portelli filed over 1500 signatures. The requirement is 1200, and it is common when there are such challenges for roughly half of the signatures to be found invalid.

    That is weird. Why was one Libertarian challenging another Libertarian’s signatures?

    While it will be unfortunate not to have a candidate for Mayor in Albany, fortunately the Capital District LP chapter has another candidate, Robert Porter, who submitted more than enough signatures for The Albany City Council, 9th Ward.

    Update: TU reporter says that GOP election commissioner says Portelli’s signatures were not registered voters.

    GOP Election Commissioner Rachel Bledi just now on Alexander Portelli’s now-moot independent mayoral petitions: “It’s safe to say he’s off the ballot. … The people simply are not registered to vote.” #Albany

    Why is it Republicans just don’t believe in the free market of idea’s and competition?
