violation of a New York law called 'conspiracy to promote or prevent election

In other words, campaigning is illegal in NY?

I mean, candidates who are campaigning are either "promoting" their election or "preventing" the election of the other guy. And to the extent that they have donors and a staff, they are certainly "conspiring" to do so.

Thanks for the clarification.

So what “unlawful means” were utilized?
