2011 Special Election

[edit]

Every newspaper article, including the NYDN which is the source mentions Espinal ran on the Republican line as well as the Democratic and Conservative. The IP address who seems to have some connection with the subject keeps removing, saying "Look at the NYS Board of Elections website and look at the official data" which is unneccessary for me to do because the onus is on them, but nonetheless: the published results of the Special Election only shows the number of votes received on which line, it does not list any parties which garnered no votes so it is not dispositive in any way. The IP is probably confused by this, from the following year in which Espinal ran in the general election against a Republican, which is irrelevant to what happened in 2011 in the special election. Since neither of these NYSBOE sources change the matter, the status of the article remains as it was, and in accordance with the information found on non-partisan ballotpedia (1 and 2, as well as the reporting in the NYDN, WSJ, NYT, and others.
