This just shows the hypocrisy of those who attack candidates who challenge petitions. These people aid and abet fraud. The Board of Elections do not check anything but the cover sheets after the petitions are submitted. Only a challenge by another candidate or a concerned voter results in things being checked for residency or even if the candidate being challenged has filed enough signatures -- let alone valid signatures. This is not silly stuff such as knocking a person off on a technicality -- although there is nothing legally wrong with doing that -- but fundamental compliance with the election law.
