A judge has dismissed a legal challenge against a group that usurped
control of the Reform Party in New York State in September.
The Reform Party has existed in the state
since members split with the Independence Party in advance of the 2000

gubernatorial candidate Rob Astorino won 50,000 votes on the Stop
Common Core line in 2014. When he renamed this new line the Reform Party
the next year, he merged it with the existing organization.
But this September, a number of individuals who had recently
enrolled in the party, including Staten Island radio host Frank Morano
and Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa, won elections to serve as
committee members for the party. In a September meeting, they elected
Sliwa chair and enacted a new set of organizational rules.
