Leary to Act on Jacksons Advice on Election Day
Mayor McClellan ordered Theodore Connolly acting Corporation Counsel to consult Attorney General Jackson about closing polls on Election Day to align procedures. Pendleton and Bingham sought guidance and the AG ruled voters in line with ballots signed by 6 pm could vote. Connolly warned only those who entered the guard rail and received a ballot before 6 pm may vote. The Board of Elections anticipated enforcing the AG’s interpretation. State Superintendent Leary noted no word from the AG and said his policy limits weight to the Attorney General. The general view was Jacksons opinion would be accepted and followed on Election Day.
