New York Officials plead guilty in voter fraud case

Tip of the iceberg... :shifty:

Quote:

A total of four Democratic officials and political operatives have now pleaded guilty to voter fraud-related felony charges in an alleged scheme to steal a New York election. The latest guilty pleas expose the ease with which political insiders can apparently manipulate the electoral system and throw an election their way, by the forging of signatures of unsuspecting voters that are then cast as real votes.

"The phrase they use is: 'making sure they vote the right way,'" said a source close to the case, which is unfolding in Troy, N.Y. "It is not a Democratic or Republican thing. ... It is criminal."

My party was better than your party, but I hear that your party was a little rowdier than mine. But I fell asleep halfway through, so what do I know?

That is terrible and all that were involved need to be punished.

Talk about undermining our election system. :nope:

Sadly, I am sure there are cases we just don't know about. :damn:

This DOES happen on both sides - to say it doesn't is foolish and arrogant at the least.

It is however, things like this that make it frustrating when common sense ideas such as being required to show a photo ID before voting are bashed.

Although I do think that the absentee voting system needs to be reworked to insure its integrity.
