Collecting political petitions for collecting signatures for local, county, state and congressional races: that process started today here in Steuben County. The Board of Elections officials in Bath said today that the deadline for filing petitions with the Steuben County Board of Elections is between April 1st and April 4th. Unfortunately for those running for the House of Representatives, yesterday, the State’s Independent Redistricting Commission rejected the latest congressional maps. Alfred University History Professror Emeritus Dr. Gary Ostrower says, there is limited time for candidates to get signatures and yet the Independent Redistricting Commission is going to be debating another plan for maps, well beyond the deadline for submitting signatures.
