Daniel Reale v. Susan Bysiewicz

Summary

The court denied Reale’s request to require that his name be placed on the ballot, holding that he failed to satisfy the statutory requirements for a petitioning candidate and was not nominated by a qualifying major or minor party. The court further held that his mistaken inclusion on the Secretary of the State’s voter guide did not create a right to appear on the ballot and denied his request for an independent audit because he failed to meet his burden of proof.
