Working Families Party Sues Own Members

The Working Families Party is suing 20 of its own members, accusing them of disloyalty and planning to expel them under a new state law designed to prevent “ballot hijacking.” The move comes as a key Senate race in Rockland County heats up, with the party backing the Democratic challenger against a Republican incumbent. Party officials suspect Republicans are fueling a fake write-in campaign to disrupt the election, and point to social media, finances, and political actions of the defendants—including Anthony Frascone, who previously ran a congressional race the party blamed Republicans for backing—to justify the lawsuit. None of the accused attended a committee hearing where evidence was presented, and the party now seeks court orders to remove them from membership. While the law allows expulsions, the process is costly and time-consuming, but the party is focused on competitive races and plans to expand disenrollments ahead of early voting.
