Democrat NY City Coucilwoman Gets on Ballot & Wins Election with 81% Fraudulent Signatures

And the judge lets her off, after she claims she was too trusting of her campaign workers who worked so hard to get those fraudulent signatures on the ballot so she could run for election. But three of her campaign workers take the fall for her. They have been arrested.

From BizPac:

Dem NYC councilwoman’s ‘trusted’ campaign staff indicted on counts of fraud, forgery Some things never change, and corruption in the Big Apple appears to be one of them.

Three campaign workers for Democrat New York City Councilwoman Maria del Carmen Arroyo were arrested Tuesday and charged with falsifying business records, forgery and offering a false instrument for filing, the New York Daily News reported.

The three workers were paid a dollar for each signature they collected last summer on Arroyo’s re-election petitions. When staffers for Arroyo’s opponent, Julio Pabon, noticed signatures from celebrities like Yankee shortstop Derek Jeter and model Kate Moss, authorities launched an investigation

Insisting that she and her mother, New York City Assemblywoman Carmen Arroyo, were the first to spot the forgeries, Arroyo told Board of Elections officials at a July hearing that she felt all she could be guilty of was “trusting people too much,” the Daily News reported.

Even though an investigation found a whopping 81 percent of the signatures were invalid, New York Supreme Court Justice John Carter ruled that Arroyo’s name could remain on the ballot, despite what the judge called her “wholesale failure to supervise the petition-gathering process,” according to the Daily News.

Arroyo went on to win the primary and general elections.

Corruption like this is a sign that New York is well on its way to ending up like Detroit, or at the very least, some kind of third world, wasteland. It can happen. It does happen, and I predict, it will happen.

It is crucial, however, to protect the voters, to never require ID.

Now we know why Democrats win.

Ever.

I wonder what is wrong with the New York Republicans? Elections fraud is out there with flashing lights. Instead, the Republicans roll over and let the machine roll over them.

What is not said is the number of signatures from the honest signature gatherers, and whether that was still enough to get on the ballot.

Don’t these signature sheets get certified by city clerks? I’d think they have to validate each and every sig.

The argument could be made she can’t be trusted to manage her own affairs. She looks like a bull dyke hence the reaon she was probably hired in the first place.

This article says that the qualifying signatures to get on the ballot were fraudulent. Once on the ballot, who knows how many votes were fraudulent?

Let us be forgiving and generous and say 40.5%.
