It's official: Davis' third try for Congress has reached its end... in court

Official word is coming out of the Buffalo News this morning. Three-time Congressional challenger Jack Davis will not make it on the ballot this time around. Davis lost in the Democratic primary to Alice Kryzan. He was hoping to still get on the ballot under his "Save Jobs and Farms" party, but he failed to submit the paperwork on time.

Reporter Robert J. McCarthy writes:

A State Supreme Court justice Thursday rejected congressional candidate Jack Davis’ attempt to remain on the November ballot, ending his third attempt to win the job.

[...]

Justice Richard M. Platkin of Albany disagreed with Davis’ contention that his petition to form a minor party line called Save Jobs and Farms should have been accepted even though he failed to file a certificate of acceptance on time, as required by state election law.

Davis argued that the state Board of Elections should have provided him an opportunity to submit the late application anyway and that the board acted “arbitrarily and capriciously” in not allowing him to file.

The judge ruled otherwise.

Davis has not said whether he would support Democrat Alice Kryzan's bid to defeat Republican Chris Lee in the 26th Congressional District. She would have to support Davis' "anti-free trade message," he said, but he doesn't "think she understands" it.

Will he try yet again? It doesn't sound like it. Davis told the Buffalo News that it's too bad he didn't get the opportunity to do some good: "I’m not going to get that opportunity to do it again."

May Jack never run again.
Still waiting for an official press release from Jon Powers conceding to Kryzan.......waiting.....waiting.. are those crickets I hear....?? Has anyone seen or heard from this guy after his initial e-mail to supporters? Wait, I think I just saw his picture on the back of a milk carton..........Maybe we should file a missing persons report......Seriously, he needs to get it over with as well....although it would not break my heart to see him stay in and take some votes away

Jon sent out an email on September the 10th saying that he was "weighing his options", and thats exactly what he's doing.

He's on the Working Families Line no matter what he does, he can only vacate the line if he moves out of state or dies, so theres no getting him off of it, as for him "stealing votes", well, no vote cast and counted is stolen.... Most of it is only if he doesn't endorse Alice, to which I'm sure that his volunteers are playing a large factor in his decision.

Haven't you moved on to attacking something else j?

(I hope you don't mind me calling you j)

J or Jay is just fine. I do not recall any attacks. Just opinions. My last post was an attempt at a mild joke. True, the votes are not stolen, but they do seem kind of wasted

HA!

Really j, throwing that line out there? Your the one who falsely claimed that Jon had been arrested, trying to give the perception that he was cuffed and taken to prison, your the one who tried to tie Obama to Saddam Hussien by constantly bringing up his middle name.

You can give all the excuses you want, but believe me j, your not fooling anyone.
