Hakeem Jeffries’ re-election bid boosted by ‘sick’ NYC Dems running ‘beloved’ dead community leader on same ticket: critics
NY Post ^ | 5/23/26 | Rich Calder

Ghoulish Democratic bosses promoted a dead man as a candidate in southern Brooklyn while soliciting petition signatures to help get House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries back on the ballot, The Post has learned.

Robert Gevertzman, a longtime community leader who died in March 2025 at the age of 76, shockingly cleared the petition-checking process, records show.

He is now slated to be below Jeffries on the Democratic ticket and run unopposed in next month’s primary for a seat on the Kings County Democratic Committee.

The Democratic dirty tricks didn’t end with raising the dead.

Borough party leaders also deployed a one-armed man who was caught in a series of bizarre videos this week claiming longtime lefty operative Joey Cohen-Saban isn’t a Democrat to help him secure enough signatures to qualify for a third-party line and boost his candidacy in a tight race to unseat state Assemblyman Michael Novakhov (R-Brooklyn).

Cohen-Saban, as the local Democratic district leader, along with Brooklyn Democratic Party Chairperson and state Assemblywoman Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn, are the main culprits in the alleged efforts to mislead voters, Novakhov and other borough Republican honchos contend.

“Running dead people shocks the conscience, and so does lying to and misleading the voters about which party you represent. It is disgraceful, dishonest, and an insult to the voters of this district and to the Gevertzman family,” said Novakhov.

Gevertzman, a former long-serving member of Brooklyn Community Board 15, was a centrist Democrat.

Even if he wins, he loses, being dead. Jeffries -— spit -— can’t lose.

He was apparently popular. I think they’re bizarrely hoping the dead man’s name will get voters out to the polls to help their candidates who might hvae contested primaries, then they can fill the seat with whomever they want.

Only dead people should vote for dead people.

Explains Biden's 81 million votes. All the dead thought they were voting for one of their own.

This should surprise no one. If the dead can vote (actually, they vote more than once in Gary, IN), why not put them up for office?

Hakeem Jeffries is a special kind of Democrat Insurrectionist

I would include an Archie Bunker quote
about Meathead regarding his intelligence...

Democratic bosses promoted a dead man as a candidate.

After stage prop Biden every option is open.

One version of the term “grateful dead”— a traveler who encounters a corpse of someone who never received a proper burial, typically stemming from an unpaid debt. The traveler then either pays off the dead person’s debt or pays for burial.

-—Actually there is an entry on Wikipedia for the myth (later used by the rock group). By the way, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi told the group to change their name because it sounded like they didn’t appreciate the gift of life. They ignored him.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grateful_dead_(folklore)#:~:text=The%20most%20common%20story%20involves,debt%20or%20pays%20for%20burial.

Dems don’t care as long as the dead keep voting Dem again and again.
