Should the purported candidate of the Working Families Party for the 17th Congressional District, Anthony Frascone, be thrown off the November 5 ballot in four New York state counties included in the district?
Tomorrow morning, Monday October 7, Westchester Supreme Court Justice Janet C. Malone will hear oral arguments from plaintiffs who on October 1 sued Frascone and state and county election officials asking for just that remedy.

(Jones is the Democratic Party candidate in the 17th District against Republican incumbent Mike Lawler.)
