Matthew Nanci reports at The Fray Aug. 23 that Diane Neal and Dal LaMagna won't appear on the ballot in November in the 19th Congressional District election, with the state board of elections ruling they did not file enough signatures with their petitions. Neal, a television actor who lives in Hurley, and LaMagna, have three days to appeal, and both say they will try to get back on the ballot. Neal, who starred in the television series “Law and Order: Special Victims Unit” included 1,852 invalid signatures among the 4,181 she submitted. The board invalidated 1,592 of LaMagna's 4,235 submitted signatures, and candidates are required to get 3,500. “A lot of it is nitpicking, technicalities,” LaMagna said. Neal thinks her appeal will succeed. “As long as the judiciary is following their own laws – the laws of New York State that are very clearly laid out – it won’t be any problem to get on the ballot in November,” she said. Republican incumbent John Faso, Democrat Antonio Delgado, Green Party candidate Steve Greenfield, and independent Luisa Parker of Callicoon are also on the ballot Nov. 6.
