Republican New York gubernatorial candidate accused of 'clear and convincing' election fraud

"The petitioning centered on statewide Republican candidates seeking to run on an additional, key ballot line in the November election by reviving the moribund state Independence Party,"

"A spokeswoman for the state Republican Party, Jessica Proud, confirmed to the Times Union that signed Independence Party petitions were later dropped at their party headquarters on State Street in Albany — and bound in volumes at the party office — before submission to the state Board of Elections on the May 31 deadline."

Nearly twenty percent of the 52,000 signatures needed to put "upstart third parties" on the ballot were "xeroxed copies of other, original signatures within those same records," the Times Union explained. "The copied pages were interspersed in a manner leading some election experts to conclude their inclusion may have been intentional, possibly to inflate the number of signatures to surpass the daunting new threshold of 45,000 valid signatures for upstart state parties to gain ballot access."

************************************************

Over and over and over, they get caught.

What I don't understand is that there are ample stories of folks getting caught trying to beat the system and they keep getting caught.

Should be proof of two things:

1) Election officials know what they're doing. The system is set up well and is sound. Fraud is rare and easy to catch. There is no reason to doubt election integrity.

2) Overwhelmingly, the people getting caught are GOPers.

2. K&R, GQP doesn't want democracy even though Americans do. The M$M will come to this conclusion...

... I pray sooner than later cause later is too late.

3. Yes, overwhelmingly GOPers

because 1) they lack ethical morality and personal integrity and honor

2) have nothing, no platforms, to offer constituents except hatred and fear. That's why they cheat.

4. I've come to the conclusion ......

that the gas-lighting GOP's are the election and all other things the fraudsters.

5. The same candidate who was "attacked" by a guy with a plastic kitty cat knuckleduster?

And then the attacker was let out on bail by the judge who just happened to work for the Zeldin campaign?

Golly.

6. "may have been intentional"?

Do we have to prove intent every time a Republican breaks the law?

They sure get a lot of mileage out of being willfully ignorant.

7. The radicalized Republican party uses intimidation to get election workers to quit.
