Matter of Verdi v. Mattera, Board of Elections

Court of Appeals of the State of New York
May 23, 1973
299 N.E.2d 681 (N.Y. 1973)

Summary

In Mattera the change of district boundary had been declared invalid, and in McManus the subscribing witness in fact lived within the district and, therefore, was qualified, though he failed to enter the proper election district number in his witness' statement because the Board of Elections changed the district number after the last date it was permitted to do so.
