Election lawyer attempting to block Cuomo challenger

The gloves are off!

An election lawyer supporting Gov. Cuomo's re-election will file a legal challenge to block little-known law professor Zephyr Teachout from challenging the Democratic incumbent on the Working Families Party ballot.

Attorney Marty Connor says Teachout may not meet the five-year residency requirement to run for governor.

Board of Election records shows she first registered to vote in New York in May 2010

"I have serious doubts she meets the five-year residency requirement," Connor told the Post. "I will certainly challenge her in court if she gets the Working Families Party nomination."

The records also show that Teachout missed several votes, Connor said.

Teachout, 42, registered to vote as a handicapped voter and requested absentee ballots. But in 2011 and 2013, the records do not indicate that she mailed in her vote.

"We also know she's not a very good voter," Connor said.

Teachout, who teaches at Fordham Law School, couldn't immediately be reched for comment.

A civil war has erupted within the Working Families Party over whether to back Cuomo for re-election, with labor leaders who support the governor pitted against party leaders and grass roots activists.

The party is scheduled to select its nominee at a convention in Albany Saturday night.
