The appeal is dismissed. Petitioner challenges that election and seeks to have this appeal certified as a class appeal.
Petitioner alleges numerous improprieties regarding the conduct of the election.
Respondent contends that the petition may not be maintained as a class appeal and that the appeal must be dismissed as against respondent Filgate for improper service. Respondent further asserts that petitioner has failed to state a claim upon which relief may be granted because the Election Law is inapplicable to school district elections of union free school districts. Furthermore, respondent argues that petitioner does not establish that any campaign literature was paid for with public funds. Additionally, respondent contends that petitioner has failed to prove that any irregularities affected the outcome of the election. Before addressing the merits, I will address petitioner's request to treat this matter as a class appeal.
