NY Attorney General Candidates Gang Up on Zephyr Teachout in Final Debate
But perhaps the most illuminating moment of the night came when moderator Brian Lehrer handed the mic to Common Cause Executive Director Susan Lerner, who asked how the future attorney general should use the powers of the office to protect voting rights in the state.

"I'm afraid not all the candidates answered the question that was asked," lamented Lerner.
