Thursday is the deadline for Democratic Attorney General hopefuls Mark Green, Charlie King and Sean Patrick Maloney to file petitions to run primary races against Andrew Cuomo, and all three campaigns say they’ll meet the 15,000 signature minimum with ease.
The bigger question is whether Cuomo will try to knock one or all out of the race by challenging some of the signatures, openly or through a surrogate. Cuomo press secretary Wendy Katz offers this decisively ambiguous non-response:
“We fully expect all candidates seeking to be New York’s next attorney general to have filed legally sufficient petitions.”
