A bitter ballot fight in a Queens Democratic primary is set to move to court Thursday as incumbent Assembly Member Jenifer Rajkumar faces a court challenge alleging forged signatures were used to secure her place on the June ballot.
A Board of Elections clerks’ review found that Rajkumar submitted 2,558 signatures for the Democratic primary in the 38th Assembly District and retained 1,494 valid signatures after 1,064 were invalidated on ordinary election-law grounds. The threshold for ballot access is 500 signatures.
