NY Dems rigging another election

Submitted by gjohnsit on Sat, 07/06/2019 - 12:20am

Political corruption in the Democratic Party varies in intensity by regions, and New York has proven itself to be the runaway champion yet again.

Still reeling from the loss of their lead in the Queens District Attorney primary, supporters of progressive candidate Tiffany Cabán raised the specter of voter fraud Thursday after a tally of paper ballots turned her 1,000-vote victory into a 20-vote defeat.
...
Caban held a 1,090-vote lead with 99% of precincts reporting on primary night last week. Katz took the lead by a thin margin Wednesday thanks to a count of some 6,000 paper ballots. Cabán’s camp emphasized the Board of Elections had invalidated 2,329 affidavit ballots. A source with knowledge of the count said that 1,662 of those were invalidated because the voters were not enrolled as Democrats. Another 144 were not registered voters, according to the source. The remaining affidavit ballots had problems with proof of residency, among other issues, the source said.

“Thousands of affidavit ballots, many of them cast by new voters inspired by Tiffany’s message of a criminal justice system that works for all of us, were invalidated by poll workers handpicked by Queens party leaders. At the same time, when we go to court, we’ll face judges handpicked by the same machine. The system is rife with conflicts of interest," Working Families Party State Director Bill Lipton said.

Cabán made no public appearances but released a statement.

“Our campaign, and all of Queens, is up against a party machine that has ruled local politics and suppressed democracy for decades," Cabán said. “We are still fighting to make sure every valid ballot is counted. We are confident that if that happens, we will be victorious.”

Machine politicians will stop at nothing to maintain power and the perks that come with it.

These guys aren't immortal. They bleed. They'll think twice only if you make them think twice. The legal system wont do it.
We the people have to do it.

rigged the primary in plain sight even though dws admitted it so why not do it again? Whenever votes don't go the right way for democrats they can now just blame it on Russia and people will believe it.

Are they ready for Yellow Vests yet?

Yes?
No?

Maybe not yet. But, there's a fire burning. It might just be as small as a gas pilot light right now, not really a sparking, sizzling fuse. However, there's flammable material nearby.

At some point, this is going to erupt. It's going to happen suddenly, and neither the Democrats nor the Republicans nor the CIA nor the other alphabets are going to see it coming. Probably none of us are going to see it coming - it's just going to happen. Almost overnight.

My book, all 11 oz of it, cost $23.50 to ship to Europe and $16.00 to ship to Canada. It is as if unapproved information in the form of bad internet speech or any dead tree correspondence not produced by corporate is to be harried and taxed.

This is a global maneuver to isolate people and to stymie solidarity against the Oligarchy who hold ALL vital sectors: information, food, water, power, military, entertainment, education, health, etc.

It seems we all have a choice: Go along with this Brave New World or Face the Boot.

and with 1000% accuracy that the party candidate endorsed by
the establishment had not one instance of this same bug that
only Caban supporters seem to suffer from.

A source with knowledge of the count said that 1,662 of those were invalidated because the voters were not enrolled as Democrats. Another 144 were not registered voters, according to the source. The remaining affidavit ballots had problems with proof of residency, among other issues, the source said.

This was only a Caban supporter feature

But in case you are---you can check the posts on wayofthebern redditt starting with "Queens Democratic Machine Now Says Caban Trails in DA race by 20 votes."

Next up is "Affidavit ballots have been opened and Katz's lead shrunk by 4 already."

Then, "Jeremy Weinstein is the Judge Appointed to Hear the Affidavit Case of Tiffany Caban."

These posts have lots of comments questions and answers and of course, opinions.
