New York Gov. Kathy Hochul’s reelection campaign is blasting her Republican challenger over allegations of petition fraud.
The Democratic incumbent’s campaign manager says New Yorkers deserve answers about more than 11,000 petition signatures that were allegedly photocopied to allow Rep. Lee Zeldin to run on the Independence Party line in addition to the GOP ticket in the fall general election.
Hochul’s campaign manager Brian Lenzmeier noted that Zeldin, of Long Island, had voted against approving the 2020 presidential election results. Zeldin was a big advocate of false claims that the contest was stolen from former President Donald Trump.
