Today’s Boss Tweed is Andrew Cuomo.
The “Tweed Ring” was nothing but the corrupt Democrat Party machine in NYC.
The only reason it’s identified by the name of Boss Tweed is so the history books don’t have to mention that it was entirely made up of Democrats.
Oh, and the Tweed Ring was broken up by a Republican of Italian descent: Fiorello La Guardia.
I had a working companion from Chicago, who also was a poll watcher back in the 1970s. He used to tell us all sorts of stories on how the Democrats would find ways to cheat on the votes. He was a Republican.
One was, when punch cards were used, to take a stack of punched ballots, line them up and drive a thin piece of metal through the Democrat punched holes this would leave the Dem ballots untouched, and the Republican ballots would then be double punched and thrown out.
