Almost two months after 30 voters in Deerpark were told their voter registrations were challenged, all have received confirmation that they are eligible to vote in next month’s elections.
The challenge to their registration was submitted in August by Town Supervisor and Town Republican Chairman, Gary Spears, who told the media the registrants’ Asian names and use of 140 Galley Hill Road in Cuddebackville as their permanent address, which tax records show is a 3-bedroom house, set off alarms. The address belongs to Fei Tian College, a bilingual Chinese-English performing arts school, and its dormitory.
Orange County Democratic Chair Brett Broge calls for apology from Supervisor Gary Spears.
