Cuomo campaign files Teachout appeal

Conor Skelding

Martin Connor, the lawyer who brought the Cuomo campaign's residency challenge against primary challenger Zephyr Teachout, filed his appellant's brief Thursday afternoon, alleging Teachout "retroactively" changed her residency.

Last week, a state judge denied Connor's petition to remove Teachout from the ballot.

In his brief, as he did in court last week, Connor again acknowledged that Teachout "had 'a residence' in New York in the common understanding of the term."
