Republicans are accusing Gov. Kathy Hochul supporters of “dirty tricks” for sending voters pre-filled applications for absentee ballots — with COVID-19 already checked as the reason for voting remotely — in what appears to be a tightening race against Rep. Lee Zeldin ahead of the Nov. 8 election.
“No one should fill out that box, but the voter who’s requesting,” GOP state Chair Nick Langworthy said Monday about the voter outreach.
“It’s unconscionable and at the height of dishonesty and hypocrisy that Democrats are using the guise of COVID while we gather at concerts,” he added about what he called “dirty tricks and deceitful schemes” purportedly used by Democrats.
Still, it is legal in New York state for political parties or candidates to use publicly available registration records to fill in absentee ballot applications for voters to then sign and return to the state Board of Elections, election law experts told The Post Monday.
But Republicans allege that their rivals are stretching the spirit, if not the letter of the law, by using letterhead in their outreach materials that appears to mimic official forms used by local and state election officials.
State Democrats declined to say how many applications they blasted statewide while saying it was not aimed beyond the state’s 6.47 million registered Democrats.

WOW! She is going to extreme cheating in order to win.
If it's legal, there is absolutely nothing that can be done. "Spirit of the law" is meaningless.
“If it’s legal, there is absolutely nothing that can be done. “Spirit of the law” is meaningless.”
Yes.
If the Republicans did it I think they would be arrested.
‘Rats are real good at ignoring ethical boundaries. Being unethical is one of the Democrat Party core competencies.
Absolutely they would.
Letter of the law doesn’t matter to rats either, though you can be sure Republicans would be “investigated” for these same actions. Once rats are given full rule the sheep really don’t have any means for the redress of grievances.
Dirty tricks? A pitcher using a razor blade to scuff a ball is a dirty trick. This is voter fraud!
Once rats are given full rule the sheep really don’t have any LEGAL means for the redress of grievances.
There
I fixed it.
WOW! Zeldin, like typical republicant LOSERS, is going to continue to do NOTHING in order to lose.
A ridiculous law to start with.
Hochul is corrupt to the core. This weekend they aired an anti Zeldin commercial that stated five police officers were killed during the 1/6 Stolen Election Protest. A complete lie.She also got through 850 million dollar taxpayer deal to fund a new stadium for the Buffalo Bills…….while her husband has a big financial interest in the deal. She is worse than Cuomo.
Blatant out in the open “IM CHEATING” FU. we need to vote in such mass that her dead grandmother feels it
Early warning of massive fraud to come.
Such solicutations should NEVER be sent to a person whose clear mental state or borderline intelligence cannot be dismissed as a cause for negating that individual's proficiency in reading or writing in the language of the federal or state constitution.
Such voting produces effects undermining the welfare of the whole populace that requires representatives capable of exercising the faculty of reasoning based on written or spoken information.
to exclude a significant portion of the affected population from casting a thoughtlessly irrepably motivated selection of a policy-determining representative?
ABSOLUTELY YES!
It is wrong to absurdly negate a carefully responsible voter's weight on that selection by the ballot cast by a boughten, irresponsible, mentally unstable, or illiterate-in-the- customs-or-language of the culture.
One does not permit a minor, though undergoing maturity ny exposure to the predominate culture. to be entrusted with the duty of perpetuating it. Why then a person incapable or incapacitated from proficiency in making beneficial decisions toward providing a representative in legislation or administration of its policies?
This is certainly the principle of constitutionally appointing the oligarchy of the life-tenured Supreme Court Jurists whose irreversible decisions are not based on a panel of commoners.
NYC now has RCV for mayoral elections for a reason...
The Internet version of the NY Post does not show the pre-marked-up ballot with the covid section marked in with a heavy X. The paper version shows it. Wish I knew how to post a photo of it on FR.
Howard Dean brought us the Permanent Campaign, whoever is programming Joe Biden has brought us the Permanent Steal.
That’s what happens when you let cheaters cheat. They cheat more and more.
