Deems certain nominating or designating petitions to be permeated with fraud and invalidating the filings made by a contested candidate

This bill modifies election law to address fraudulent signatures on nominating or designating petitions. It establishes a specific rule where a court must declare an entire petition invalid if it finds that 25% or more of the signatures are fraudulent. The change directly affects political candidates and election officials by setting a clear threshold for invalidating filings. The legislation takes effect immediately upon passage.
