A special prosecutor is already being eyed amid a burgeoning scandal in Troy over the alleged forgery of absentee ballots in this month’s Working Families Party primary. The scandal is focused on suspicions people tied to the Troy Democrats forged ballots.
News of the fakes surfaced in Saturday’s edition of the Times Union. The details were eye opening because so many voters interviewed by the Times Union said they didn’t vote despite ballots cast in their name. Voters said their signatures had obviously been forged and comparisons between their registration cards and the ballot applications showed distinctly different signatures.
Today, Senior Writer Brendan J. Lyons reports:
A special prosecutor is expected to be appointed Monday to investigate widespread allegations of voter fraud linked to dozens of absentee ballots on the Working Families Party line in the city.
Two people familiar with the case, which was first publicly exposed in Saturday’s Times Union, said Rensselaer County Judge Robert Jacon may make the appointment. Last week, District Attorney Richard McNally, a Democrat, privately notified the court that his office would recuse itself from the investigation, the sources said.

There are so many factual statements that could begin this way. It's almost like a bad joke and very sad, the Republicans.
The Republicans will either become an American party or be replaced by a new party, an American party.
As in pinning for the fjord?
Personally I think that acts of voter fraud should carry the death penalty. It’s *that* serious.
Unless there was a large event - (something after the peak period when people sent back ballots) that would sway voters to the “other side”, it’s fraud - ....
Yeah ;-)
“It’s a criminal organization - have faith - the wheels of justice grind slowly but very fine...”
If it weren’t for Beck, and Darrell Issa, I would be faithless. We’ll see.
I like them. They add flavor. ;-)
As for the thread topic. This is still in the "Duh, sh*t" category for me. Great that people are waking up and heads are starting to roll, but what about all of those elections whose outcome is now cast in doubt by this info? What of those Secretary's of States and Attorneys General that REFUSED to investigate ACORN's misdeed allegations that are now proving well founded?
Mark Ritchie of Minnesota comes to mind. 30k some odd ACORN registrations, some with all the ear marks of fraud, and he couldn't find ANYTHING to investigate?
Pull my other leg... ACORN's enablers need to answer charges every bit as much as ACORNs staff and management do.
