New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is accused of 'rigging state license plate contest in favor of design featuring bridge named after his father Mario' The contest asks New York residents to pick their favorite among five plates Four are a combination of the Statue of Liberty and the state's motto, 'Excelsior' A fifth shows just the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge, completed in 2018 The span, originally the Tappan Zee, was named after the now-governor's dad Voters favoring a Statue Of Liberty plate will be split, making it more likely the bridge option will win, say conspiracy theorists The bridge, which opened in 2017 to replace an older span, was named after the current governor's father, who passed away from heart failure in 2015. The Cuomo bridge is not a widely recognized New York landmark, and some have claimed its inclusion in the license plate contest is suspect. 'LOL yeah this indeed seems kind of rigged in favor of the Mario Cuomo (née Tappan Zee) Bridge license plate. A bunch of near-identical Statue of Liberty designs will split the SoL vote,' tweeted Nate Silver, editor-in-chief of FiveThirtyEight, a data-driven news site.

So? Nothing is going to happen to him, he’s a Democrat.
If democrat logic is applied cuomo is guilty due to the seriousness of the charge
So, Freddo’s big brother is crooked? Who’da thunk it?
Cuomo must think he owns the state.
The state's motto is "Excelsior" but if they added this in honor of Jean Shepherd, who held forth for many years on WOR radio in NYC, then they would have a winner.
Near where I live there's a popular state park that now has an LED-backlit sign that says "Andrew Cuomo, Governor" under its main entrance sign. Thing's lit up all night, every night.
The word ‘democrat’ screams corruption/liar/criminal. The higher up the dem; the worse the corruption/criminal and their crimes.
By the way, when I think of NY (NYC), I don't think of the Tappan Zee...or Cuomo. I think of the Statue of Liberty, or the World Trade Center, or a Sabrette Hot Dog.
The Fredo bridge.
It provides insight into the sickness of these ruling elites. They literally think they own their part of the world.
If the Dems think this is a good strategy, let’s insist that all the current presidential candidates be allowed on the general election ballot.
