A New York state lawmaker who sought to replace a retiring member of Congress refused to concede defeat Thursday following Tuesday’s Democratic primary, claiming the election was plagued by “intentional black voter suppression.”

State Assemblyman Michael Blake, an African-American candidate, finished in second place in the 15th Congressional District contest’s in-person ballot count, the New York Daily News reported.

The top finisher was New York City Councilman Ritchie Torres, who is also African-American.

So a primary between two African-American Democrats and the loser claims suppression of African-American voters...?

Another thing you can’t make up!

It’s whomever the Demonrat political machine wants that hands said person the nomination. Perhaps Blake didn’t grease enough palms. Ritchie Torres, on the other hand, greased ‘em with Astroglide.

Only possibility is Democrat voter suppression, which wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest.

Something must have gone wrong with the rigging. But since it is going take weeks to count all those mail in ballots then there is still plenty of time to cheat to win.

SPOT ON. - You couldn’t make that FOOLISHNESS up.

I’m reminded of a comment of Mark Twain’s: There are many things that, if written as fiction, would expose the author to public ridicule BUT there is nothing that could not have actually happened.

The Babylon Bee has to be plausible, Reality is under no such constraint.

How is it that in one-party states such as New York, where Republicans get elected to major office about twice between Haley’s Comet appearances, there is always “black voter suppression”? Who does the suppressing?

I think he means the Jews In the past week alone they’ve been responsible for a pain in my left arm, arthritis flaring up in my back and I’m pretty sure they plotted to have my niece fall at dance practice and hurt her leg.

Don’t quote me on that left arm pain thing though

The narrative today is the wrong screams louder than than right and when this doesn’t work they get violent. The bullies need a bloody nose which they haven’t gotten yet
