New York Democrat: 'Vote Fraud is a Normal Political Tactic'

As the city of Troy, NY, awaits jury selection in the first trial involving two Democrats and their alleged roles in a “massive” voter fraud scheme, new details have emerged from the investigation. Details involving two other veteran political operatives that have already pleaded guilty.

According to a recent Fox News report, Anthony Renna, a Democrat guilty of second-degree forgery, and Anthony DeFiglio, a Democrat guilty of first-degree falsifying business records, are trying to drag all local politicians, regardless of party affiliation, down with the ship. Thus far, eight people have been charged in connection with the ballot fraud investigation, four of which have pleaded guilty.

Reports emerging from the investigation indicate that the Democrats are trying to implicate Republicans of the same conduct they have been charged with. According to the state police, Renna and DeFiglio both claimed that, ”voter fraud is an accepted way of winning elections, and faking absentee ballots was commonplace.”

Renna explained that the process of handing in forged ballots and fake votes ensures that “ballots are voted correctly.” He adds, “‘Voted correctly’ is a term used for a forged application or ballot.”

DeFiglio added that such fraud is actually “an ongoing scheme and it occurs on both sides of the aisle. What appears as a huge conspiracy to nonpolitical persons is really a normal political tactic.”

THIS story perfectly illuminates why Dimocrats are so adamantly opposed to voter I.D. laws.

Whoever does this sullies the bravely-spilled blood of patriots and soldiers.
By their actions, they say the brave ones died for nothing.

They should be forced to say that publicly, then shot. Publicly.

Failure to say such a thing earns them the enmity of the hangman.
One ALWAYS wants to befriend one’s hangman.

The MSM will never stop reporting that there is no such thing as voter fraud.

“With eight Democrats facing charges in the investigation, Gordon sums up the situation by saying, ”Democrats wanted to win and it appears at any cost.”

“This was greed, ignorance, lack of ethics, and laziness. Bad people doing bad things.”

Does anybody think they will go to jail for a long time? Na, House arrest for about a month.

Vote fraud or election tampering is a de facto coup d’etat and it should be treated as an act of treason.

Person’s found guilty should be given the death penalty. I would imagine that the average perpetrator is a pretty cowardly type of person and simply executing one or two guilty persons would stop voter fraud in its tracks.

Eight isolated incidents, they'll say.

“Democrats wanted to win and at any cost.” Remember that “at any cost” phrase. Lots of taxpayer money in the old public treasury that could be used to buy Democrats mansions and yachts and vacations.
I used to think that Democrats were just blind idealogues. Turns out, they’re nothing but thieves. And they’ve paid-off the old media.
