New York's top court upholds mail-in voting for all, rejecting Republican challenge

Southampton Village permits right turns only onto Hill Street during rush hour
With Election Day less than 11 weeks away, Republican U.S. Representative Nick LaLota and John Avlon, his Democratic challenger for New York’s 1st Congressional District seat, continue to needle one another over their residency and, by extension, their fitness to represent the district. Christopher Walsh reports on 27east.com that LaLota, a first-term Republican, has relentlessly portrayed his Democratic challenger as a wealthy Manhattanite who is out of touch with the district. Avlon, an author, columnist and former CNN anchor who lives in Sag Harbor and Manhattan, counters that LaLota himself does not live in the 1st Congressional District. The congressman, born and raised on Long Island, lives in Amityville Village, outside of the district boundaries, but emphasizes his lifelong ties to Long Island. While members of the House of Representatives typically live in the districts they represent, they are not required to do so. They are required to be an inhabitant of the state they represent at the time of their election. Last week, LaLota publicized an August 13 New York Post article that asserted that Avlon was “apparently netting more than $2,000 per year in abatements by claiming his primary residence is in Manhattan.” The Post article said that the tax abatements are eligible only to units designated as a primary residence. Avlon cited “numerous fundamental inaccuracies” in the Post article. “The co-op in which I have an apartment filed for that abatement without consulting any of us individually,” he said this week. He said that he had been unaware that the abatement had been filed, but since he entered the 1st Congressional race this year, “the key point is whether the abatement will be filed in this calendar year, which it will not.” The Cook Political Report puts the 1st District race in its “likely Republican” column.
