A Long Island school clerk overseeing board of education elections tore up ballots and threw them in a dumpster to help her favorite candidate win, a newly revealed internal probe found.
Hempstead Union Free School District Clerk April Keys allegedly rigged the May 19 trustee election by smuggling official ballots out of her office and handing absentee ballots to favored candidate Victor Pratt so he could trash them, according to a 51-page petition filed by the district with the state Education Department.
Keys could now face criminal charges as the district is looking to overturn Pratt’s razor-thin win.
“The Board of Education Trustee election must be overturned because widespread irregularities affected the outcome of the election and were so pervasive that they vitiated the electoral process,” the filing, from the Hempstead school district’s attorneys, said.
The filing, which was submitted June 15 but emerged Thursday, asks state Education Department Commissioner Betty Rosa to order a new one election, with a replacement clerk and oversight by the state Attorney General’s Civil Rights office.

Mail in ballots. Again!
“Question marks were first raised by the district after it discovered major irregularities in its election.
Pratt won by just 81 votes — boosted by a suspiciously large number of absentee and early mail ballots that boosted him to the win even though he only came in third on machine voting, the probe found.
Pratt racked up 87% of absentee votes and 55% of early mail votes, compared to just 27% of in-person machine votes – while other trustee candidates received fewer than 100 absentee and early mail ballots combined, the probe found.”
Comment at NYPost:
“Should vote at liquor stores where we always get an ID check”
It repeats if nobody goes to jail. As a matter of fact it gets them a job at a NFP or NGO, along with a big raise and expense account.
Interesting that his name was Pratt. Brings the LA mayor’s race immediately to mind.

Consider a small (or larger) monthly donation too. Just do it please. In Remembrance of JimRob
“Keys could now face criminal charges ...”
COULD????????.............
I’ll bet 75% or more of mail in ballots is fraud.
What can we do about totally corrupt election officials who no doubt do this routinely? Who is watching THEM?
Goes home and says to self: “I rigged an election today. I’m a good person.”
I’ll bet 75% or more of mail in ballots is fraud.
I bet you are correct.
That may be, but that picture is NOT the image of the woman charged in this matter.
I’d post it if I knew how - but it’s at the link provided in the first post.
April Keys
This is FAR, FAR, FAR from JimRob’s vision of his own site.
The left has taken it over and ran many great FReepers off (or at least from donating anymore).
In a sane free country, election fraud — voter disenfranchisement — would be a speedily processed capital crime.
“Election fraud never happens.”
“Election fraud happens but here is why it is a good thing.”
That’s basically what that stupid Biden judge just ruled.
