POUGHKEEPSIE – Dutchess County Democratic Committee Chairperson Elisa Sumner has requested that the District Attorney investigate Republican Election Commissioner Erik Haight for what Sumner considers perjury.
A letter from Sumner to Dutchess County District Attorney Bill Grady on Monday, January 25, requests that the prosecutor investigate Haight for allegedly intentionally misleading a judge in an October proceeding in which Bard College and others were seeking to have a polling place moved to the Red Hook college campus.
During the proceeding, Haight argued before Dutchess County Supreme Court Justice Maria Rosa saying that the move at such a late date would cause voter confusion just days before the November election. Justice Rosa agreed with Haight on October 13 and declined to move the polling place.
