Although the reporting was about a WFP alert, the more relevant issue is the Conservative Party. This unbelievable way of stealing votes is not going to be stopped by the judge.

In other words, anyone who votes for Paladino on the "CONSERVATIVE" line as well as the "Republican" line will be reported as voting on the liberal "Republican" line.

That is, if the Republicans nominate a conservative who also gets the Conservative Party endorsement, the Conservatives will not get any credit for that vote if both are marked for that same candidate.

This is very damaging to Conservatives in New York.


This isn't important for the candidate, who would get the vote in any case, but it's important for the parties. Not only is ballot order determined by number of votes for the PARTY in the gubernatorial contest, but, IIRC, a party drops below 50,000 votes, it is removed from the ballot.

Therefore, it is important for Conservative voters to not vote Republican if you want the vote to go to the Conservative Party.

I have zero respect for 3rd parties in this election, ESPECIALLY so-called “conservative” 3rd parties.

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know they have every right to run.

I’m just saying I personally have zero respect for them.

Here’s a question... If this is the case, why would someone want to appear on two different lines of a ballot? People should be selective and smart enough to know the rules of voting, and if they cannot figure this out ahead of time, they have no business voting. Spoiled ballots should be tossed out.

Here’s another novel thought: Instead of tossing out the late military ballots, why not delay the official results until all have been received? Time stamp the ballot, and as long as the ballot was within a window of opportunity to allow those in the battle field to vote (or electronic votes for them) then count them later. All votes should be counted, and special accomodations should be afforded the military. This entire liberal anti-military attitude is outrageous.

What idiots designed this kind of system?

A candidate’s name can appear on the ballot twice;
and if a voter selects the name both times;
it becomes a spoiled ballot?

Idiots.
All of them.

Please contact me if you’re interested in being added on or taken off the Carl Paladino for Governor ping list. This looks to be a fairly high volume ping list for a while, probably until the election.

“..implosion of its standard-bearer, Republican gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino.”
This guy has no idea of the surprise he will get. People will vote for Paladino on the Conservative line in huge numbers.

I always vote on the conservative party line for candidates who are there and on the GOP line as well. In Gnu Yak I want to see this party RISE, also, Hey Zogby, How come you do not list the Conservative Party in your surveys? Afraid of the results?
