POUGHKEEPSIE—Attorneys for Republican Assemblyman James Tedisco filed two memoranda of law in the ongoing legal wrangling over absentee ballots in his Congressional race against Democrat Scott Murphy.
Tedisco’s lawyers moved to “renew and reargue” a ruling issued last week by Judge James Brands that declared that objections lodged against absentee ballots on the basis of their applications were not valid.
James Walsh, an attorney representing Tedisco, argued that the case cited as the backbone of Brands’ ruling dealt with a “factually distinct issue” pertaining to access to ballot applications before an election.
John Ciampoli, an attorney representing the Republican state chairman, Joe Mondello, agreed.
