A Queens Supreme Court judge adjourned a ballot fight for next week to give the city Board of Elections (BOE) commissioners a chance to weigh in on the allegations that incumbent Assembly Member Jenifer Rajkumar used forged signatures to secure her place on the June Democratic primary ballot.
Rajkumar’s challenger, David Orkin, a Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)-endorsed candidate, filed the case to compel the court to invalidate her designating petition and block her name from appearing on the Democratic primary ballot. Rajkumar’s campaign has repeatedly called the accusations false and politically motivated.
