The Democrats have beaten the Republicans to court in NY-23, obtaining an order to show cause that requires the impounding of voting machines for what is expected to be another tight congressional special election.
"Most of the time, you don't bring this until the day after the election, and then only if you think the race will be close," said attorney Frank Hoare, whom I reached on his cell phone as he was driving back to Albany after filing the order in Elizabethtown.
"The Republicans usually play games and start the action the day of the election; in an effort to beat them to the courthouse, I started the action today," Hoare continued.
"They started the morning of in Murphy (the NY-20 special election between now-Democratic Rep. Scott Murphy and Republican Assemblyman Jim Tedisco in which a recount dragged on for weeks). They just so happened to find the most conservative judge in the whole congressional district. Not that I would accuse them of judge shopping."
This order was signed by state Supreme Court Justice Robert Muller, who just so happens to be a registered Democrat (although he was cross-endorsed in 2008, as so often happens in judicial races, and ran on the Conservative line).
I asked Hoare if he had engaged in a little judge shopping of his own, he laughed and said: "I randomly came to Essex County because it's one of the counties we're concerned about. Muller is in Lake George. I have no idea about his party affiliation."
This order is pretty standard, except for one point of interest: It directs three counties - Essex, Clinton and Oneida - to let people who made the federal registration deadline but not the state and local deadline to vote on paper ballots, not affidavit ballots.

Democrats aka ACORN/SEIU already trying to rig this election?
And so it begins...
Democrats trying to steal an election even before its been held. They are good enough at this sort of thing to make it happen.
The RATS will steal this I’m a thinkin’
Here we go. The RATS are stealing another one but they’re having to change their tactics. They usually wait until after the election. Sometime, they’re going to go too far.
They are nervous.
“Just Say ‘No’ to Robert Muller,” from the North Country Gazette (2008):
http://www.northcountrygazette.org/2008/11/03/no_to_muller/
I don’t know how reliable this source is, but it suggests that Muller is a corrupt good ol’ boy of the worst sort.
So, “judge shopping”? Yes.
As long as the leftists use the courts against the right without consequence, this will continue.
Frank Whore doesn't think twice about using the courts to steal an election.
If the right had any balls, he would.
I gotta believe this was a bad PR move.
The party of the people?
No way!
Give those politically driven cheating a$$holes more credit than that.
He who controls the count controls the outcome. This sucks. With all eyes on NY23, you would think they wouldn’t have the audacity to do this AGAIN!
Another franken-stein.
So he thinks the Democrat is going to lose? OK.
There’ll never be an honest election in this country again.
The smell of fear is in the air.
It’s two against one, and they are already in a panic.
He and the GOP are useless, and in situations like this it takes lawyers funded by a national committee to fight the fight.
The socialists will steal this election, unless local people go berserk and jack up the opposition physically.
Hoffman is going to blow the D and R right out of the water.
“There’ll never be an honest election in this country again...”
that depends upon what “We the People” really decide to do...
Ping
Correct. Their goal is always to keep it close enough where they can steal enough votes and not be over the top conspicuous.
Got a Hoffman aide email today, they are swamped with volunteers. Hope they have enough to be at every polling place....
This ought to motivate enough people.
Just think, if this was a two-person race, the trust-fund babies the NRCC sends in to micromanage these races would just sit around and whine to themselves and each other.
When I look at the biggest causes of the sad state of affairs of this country, the missed opportunities of GOP majorities, backed by the plurality/majority of the American people, are pretty high on the list. This opportunity was blown by a group of elites within the GOP, the kinds of people who thought it was more important to be liked by the kinds of people who hang out in the Georgetown Starbucks than it was to do the right thing.
It’s ONLY a bad PR move if it actually gets reported in the mainstream media.
Or turn out in numbers too many to refute. Turnout is going to make or break this election. GOT to get there hell or high water.

The democrats in NY and NJ are predictible
Not that PA and New England dems are any better
I want to see Dodd go down in flames like his father did!
[I want to see Dodd go down in flames]
We’d all love to see that. ‘nit’ has been pinging me to NY election threads. Being far away, I’m not that familiar with the others running but certainly root against the dems!
From the party that has made "suddenly discovering a trunkful of ballots in the closet" an art form.
Sounds like it. If the Democrat were in the clear there would be no need for this. Starting to believe those polls are legit that we saw.
.
Kennedys
Dodds
One family crook after another
Look at the state income tax rates, property taxes, huge budgets, deficits
In New Jersey Corizine’s solution is simply to increase and add taxes and fees
The Goldman Sucks bunch
I don’t know much about NY’s taxes, etc. I did see an article here or on Drudge today, that the rich were leaving NY in droves!
They don’t care about PR. There are never any consequenses for thier actions, and the people that keep voting for them are handout whores and they don’t care as long as they get thier “pie”
Civil war? anyone?
Democrats are whores. Plain and simple...
It began a long time ago. Votes don’t matter.

Donald Trump said he is likely to bail out of NY
Rush moved to Florida long ago
NY & NYS require Rush to document all his time in and out of NY
When Obama goes to NYC - does he have to pay NYC & NYS income taxes for that one day like Rush has to?
Doug going a crash course in dirty Democrat electioning.
I once wrote a lot about that on the forum. About Rush threatening to leave NY, and then they said that he stayed.
Then I got replies that said his home is in Florida [I knew that] but that he still had ‘business concerns’ in NYC and that’s what they tax him on.
As you write, they are now making him document everything. Wonder why he didn't follow through on his threat to move it out of NYC?
correction . . .Doug is getting a crash course in dirty Democrat electioning.
Where the JACKASS party always turns when the outlook looks grim (find a tyrant in black who's on the DNC payroll). Keeping polls open longer, having valid ballots thrown out while ensuring invalid ballots are counted, pushing intimidation and fraud....that's how DUmocrats win. If they actually played by the same rules they force on everyone else, they'd never see anything other than defeat.
Democrats are already rigging the election?
2010 is going to be ROUGH!
Stop giving whores a bad name!
What makes the rats think they have a chance - this is an ‘R’ district and has been for many many years!
It appears to me the counties listed are the more left-leaning. Clinton and Essex are near the Canadian border, flooded with 3rd world immigrants and people dependent on assistance. Oneida has an Indian reservation. Just sayin’.
Not listed are Jefferson and Franklin counties. In that district the more west you go, the more conservatives you’ll find.
btt
Electric bills went up nearly 100%. Precursor to cap & trade—getting us used to it. Taxes wiped out all profit from hubby’s new business. Never mind taxes...how about the fees? I have a $45/mo. basic phone plan that actually costs around $90.
Locals raised the hotel tax; registrations went down. Fewer customers for the few remaining stores and restaurants.
Thruway raised tolls; fewer drivers on Thruway and the trucks are tearing up the country roads. I guess we need another toll to make up for the shortfall.
What a bunch of dunces.
Hannity needs to read these guys the riot act. Hoffman supports what you support why aren’t you helping him. There was no primary and 3 of the eleven County Chairmen made this decision.
Steele is letting the Country Clubbers and the Northeast elites call the shots. They are funneling most of the organization and support to oppose conservative candidates and then say they can’t win.
Call the RNC, the NRSC, and the RNCC and tell them to stick it!!
Rush should have known as soon as Goldmann Sachs was involved his NFL deal was screwed. They probably leaked and broke the confidentially agreement.
Make sure Hoffman supporters vote absentee if they can’t make it on Tuesday, get military votes too.
