A Staten island grand jury has identified numerous instances of ballot harvesting fraud in a race for City Council last year — including a ballot submitted on behalf of a dead person and signature fraud involving dozens of other absentee ballots.
The unprecedented 38-page grand jury report released by Staten Island District Attorney Michael McMahon called for changes in state election law including requiring official government-issued ID to vote. But it does not specify the race in question, nor does it file criminal charges against anyone.
Sources told The Post that the criminal investigation focused on the campaign of Marko Kepi, who narrowly lost a GOP primary race to Mid-Island Councilman David Carr.
“This case is the poster child for the necessity of voter ID laws. Unfortunately, the real victims here are the hundreds of residents whose identities and votes were stolen. And this will happen again until our state Legislature takes election integrity and security seriously,” said Carr.
The Post previously reported about accusations of ballot harvesting and other fraud allegedly committed by the Kepi campaign, including registering a dead man to vote for him — as a female.
“This Grand Jury finds that an absentee ballot application bearing the forged signature of a deceased individual was submitted to the Board [of Elections], naming a CANDIDATE 2 campaign staffer, STAFFER 1, as the authorized collector of his absentee ballot,” the report said.
“The deceased individual was a man who passed away in mid-2020. However, in May 2021, the Board processed a voter registration form purportedly signed by him with his pedigree information, including his date of birth and the last four digits of his Social Security number, but identifying his gender as female.”

The grand jury report recommends:
Requiring voters to present some form of government-issued identification before voting, either physically at a poll site or by absentee ballot.
Requiring local boards of elections to retain the services of qualified experts in the field of forensic document examination to review absentee ballot envelope signatures for potential fraud.
Prohibiting absentee ballot applications and absentee ballots themselves from being sent to an address associated with a candidate’s campaign, a practice referred to as “vote harvesting” or “ballot harvesting”, and barring campaign staffers from handling absentee ballot or cure letters and affirmations.
The rats have been watching and they have seen it is damn near impossible to get a court to reverse any election result. As a result the cheating has become rampant and the rats no fear whatsoever because all they care about getting the win. Roberts set this up when he wouldn’t even let Trump present a case.

“. . . . But it does not specify the race in question, nor does it file criminal charges against anyone.”
See how that works? Everyone knows that fraud is happening and that people, real people are perpetuating it. So, we see high minded reports with recommendations, but nobody ever goes to jail, anyone citing to such reports is labeled an “election denier” and the best goes on.
Our most sacred right as citizens is being extinguished, everyone knows it. The Dems and their CNN/MSNBC drones know it but lap it up and accept it since it keeps them in power and that is their definition of “democracy.”
The establishment GOP knows it but they love anything that keeps the masses down and them in a profitable minority.
Serfdom? You betcha.
Now that the Communists Dems have control of our voting system, only solution to voting in the USA is; signed paper ballot with voter ID.

Kind of “funny” that they find “fraud” in the one red Borough of New York City.
when he wouldn’t even let Trump present a case.
All the proof you need to know Roberts KNEW the outcome.
LOL! Good luck with that. Democrats control both Houses of the State Legislature by an almost 2-1 ratio.
This just the ice of the tipberg.
