Indictment for Duryea Kingston linked to vote siphoning scheme
New York Assembly Speaker Perry B. Duryea and Majority Leader John E. Kingston were indicted by a Manhattan grand jury in a probe of a Republican vote siphoning scheme. Several staff members faced possible charges as Gov. Rockefeller and Lt. Gov. Wilson voiced support for Duryea. Indictments reportedly reference unconstitutional election law sections. Duryea’s camp seeks immediate disposition and exoneration amid broader political maneuvering ahead of next year’s gubernatorial race.
