As
I believe you are already aware from prior correspondence, I am an attorney in
New York, and a citizen and resident of the Town of Orangetown and the County
of Rockland. Under the New York State Freedom of Information Law:
http://www.dos.ny.gov/coog/foil2.html
and, as may be applicable, its state, federal, and other counterparts, including without limitation New York Public Officers Law, Article 6, Sections 84-90, and Title 5 of the United States Code, Section 552 (collectively herein referred to as “FOIL”), request is hereby made that each of you provide to this, my law office, full and complete copies of each and every document and other item of material dated or otherwise generated from January 1, 2025 forward to the present day (collectively, “Records”) which may be at all responsive to the following requests:
1.
Preventative Measures. All e-mails, correspondence, and other
Records of any kind relating to any procedures, protocols, precautions,
counter-measures, and other preventative measures taken by RCBOE or taken
by any other agency, person, or entity, to militate against any voter fraud,
ballot fraud, falsification of absentee ballots, falsification of mail-in
ballots, or any other falsification of votes, ballots, counts, re-counts,
hand-counts, tallies, or other impropriety of election processing - regarding
the Piermont mayoral election of November 4, 2025 in which Kevin Timoney
opposed Nathan (Nate) Mitchell.
2.
Cutler. All e-mails, correspondence, and other Records of any
kind constituting, reflecting, or otherwise relating to communications between
the Rockland County Board of Elections on the one hand, and Nancy Cutler,
“Journal News”, “lohud.com”, “lohud”, or any of her or its
representatives on the other hand, regarding the Piermont mayoral election of
November 4, 2025 in which Kevin Timoney opposed Nathan (Nate) Mitchell –
including without limitation any communications regarding absentee ballots or
mail-in ballots.
3.
Traster. All e-mails, correspondence, and other Records of any
kind constituting, reflecting, or otherwise relating to communications between
the Rockland County Board of Elections on the one hand, and Tina Traster,
“Rockland County Business Journal”, “RCBJ”, or any of her or its
representatives on the other hand, regarding the Piermont mayoral election of
November 4, 2025 in which Kevin Timoney opposed Nathan (Nate) Mitchell –
including without limitation any communications regarding absentee ballots or
mail-in ballots.
4.
Definition Of “Records”. “Records” should be construed in the
broadest sense and manner possible and should include “any information kept,
held, filed, produced or reproduced by, with or for (your agency or office)...
in any physical form whatsoever...” (FOIL,§86[4]) including without limitation
all audio recordings, blog posts, correspondence, data maintained
electronically, data, e-mails, executive summaries, extracts, faxes, instant
messages, Internet posts, letters, log-book entries, memos, paper records,
personal messages, social media communications, spreadsheets, summaries,
synopses, telephone records, test-reports, visual recordings, and any other
materials:
http://www.dos.ny.gov/coog/foil2.html#s86
5.
Headings And Subheadings. The headings and subheadings used in
this letter are for convenience of reference purposes only, and should not be
construed to be words of limitation or otherwise of any substantive
significance relative to this FOIL request.
6.
Costs. If there are any copying or other fees for this, please
let me know what they are and how they are calculated, before filling the
request and forwarding the Records to me. As this FOIL should be considered a
matter of public importance, and as its results will be shared with the general
public and published, I am asking that any otherwise-applicable fees be waived
for this document-production. I am also asking that all documents be provided
to me electronically to the full extent possible, so as to obviate the need for
any photocopying expense.
7.
Denials And Appeals. In the event that any portion of my request
is denied, please inform me of each of the specific reasons for any such denial
in writing - and provide me with the name, address, and other contact
information of the person or entity to whom an appeal should be directed.
8.
Additional Requests. This FOIL request is not intended to be
exhaustive, and I foresee making additional and follow-up requests.
I
will appreciate a response from you and your office as soon as possible. I look
forward to hearing from you shortly. Thank you.
Respectfully,
and with thanks,
John J. Tormey III, Esq.
