A Candidate Vanished at Sea. His Opponents Insist He Stay on the Ballot.
Five months ago, a Democratic political candidate and triathlete from Long Island took a nighttime ocean swim. He was not heard from again.
For weeks, drones, divers and beach-walkers searched for the candidate, Petros Krommidas, but eventually his family and colleagues presumed him dead.
His political foes do not agree.
Republicans have managed to keep Democrats from replacing his name on the ballot and this week, a judge ruled that Mr. Krommidas, 29, would still be running in November for a seat in the Nassau County Legislature, despite his disappearance.
