comment: >
context: Rensselaer County's Republican elections commissioner abruptly resigned from his position on Wednesday, hours after the Times Union published a story online reporting that he is scheduled to plead guilty to federal criminal charges in January in connection with an ongoing voter fraud investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice. >
  
  He was reappointed on the day he filed a notice if Chang did plea 16-2?!?!?!
  “Democrat legislators Peter Grimm and Cindy Doran, the Legislature's minority leader and deputy minority leader, respectively, had issued a statement earlier Wednesday criticizing the legislators who had voted in favor of reappointing Schofield to his position two weeks ago. Grimm and Doran were the only legislators who voted against the appointment when it passed 16-2.” >
  
  Repubs have zero integrity. Zilch. >
  
  Oh he’s being brought up on charges of ballot harvesting? Honestly, that doesn’t even sound like fraud to m-
  
  He was arrested in September outside his residence by the FBI on charges detailed in a nine-page indictment accusing him of fraudulently obtaining and filing absentee ballots using the personal information of at least eight voters without their permission.
  
  Oh >
  
  What the fuck… >
  
  And those jamokes reinstated  him 16-2 like 3 weeks ago
  In fact according to the article, he was only pressured to leave hours after the paper broke this story >
  
  That's what he was there to do.  Getting caught is the problem. >
  
  Hmmmm it’s seems like an awful lot of republicans commit voter fraud. No wonder they are so adamant it happens. They are the ones doing it! >
  
  Every
  Accusation 
  Is
  A
  Confession >
  
  That >
  
  This is why the republicans cried so hard about stolen elections, they don’t understand how they lost despite them cheating at every turn. >

  In honor Tracy Morgan I will always call him Carl Robe >
  
  Me too! Also, I can’t not call it the PeaCork network. >
  
  Found in another article. Quote from a Republican who voted to reappoint this guy
  
  "We believed he was innocent until proven guilty," Republican legislator Scott Bendett says. "After the change in plea, we immediately asked for his resignation, and he gave it to us.
  
  Yeah, still a bullshit excuse >
  
  Cuomo and Franken and Spitzer stepped down without conviction.
  There is bullshit on both sides, but they do not play it the same way, >
  
  A RINO, a real republican would have blamed someone else for this. >
  
  It only counts as rigging an election if the Democrats win >
  
  By actually voting >
  
  Well, yeah. Democrats voting is election rigging. That's how you can tell they cheated. They won >
  
  Republicans know there is so much voter fraud because they keep committing it. >
  
  Here's to old RPI. 
  Her fame may never die >
  
  First this. Now Dark Sky is DOA. >
  
  What a surprise it’s shaken me to the core to think they are Republicans that do things like this. ( I know sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, but hey it’s the most effective) >
  
  The question is this: did they accuse Democrats of doing it to put people off the scent, or, (my thinking) low-level dumb-dumbs actually believe lies being fed to them and act on them, while those feeding the lies are still on Fox? >
  
  I think it very likely goes both ways. 
  Some Republicans have a definite " win at all costs mindset."  Those people were probably cheating beforehand because they literally believe the United States will end if the Democratic Party wins.  A conservative government is more important than democracy to them. 
  But then a share more were probably tipped over into cheating because of the continuous rhetoric about how the Democrats cheat. It makes them think it's okay and let them justify it in their own minds whereas they might not have before. >
  
  Oh. A republican? I'm shocked. SHOCKED I tell ya. >
  
  Keep reading this is the 2nd GOP who has been charged / prosecuted for Voter Fraud in the area. >
  
  Was completely fine being an election denier and spreading lies but when the truth comes out, they suddenly react. Fuck these traitors. >
  
  
  they suddenly react.
  
  Not really "suddenly", the Fed AND the NY State Police have been known to be investigating the GOP in Rensselaer for months. Search warrants, seized phones, etc. Only when the guy pleads guilty do they actually act. >
  
  Quelle surprise. >
  
  More republicans are going to jail for voter fraud than actual voters.  Says something that.... >
  
  GOP Election Admin pleads guilty to Election Fraud.    hmmm >
  
  He’s on the Trump diet >
  
  How the stories of this guy and Kim Ashe McPherson (really, the GOP in Rensselaer County at all levels of government) isn’t a bigger national story is beyond me. All I can think is that the DNC isn’t touching this because local or state Dems might be caught up in something they don’t want coming to light. RensCo is a political sewer. >
  
  Republican values at work. They have been doing more often to be the ones commenting the voter fraud. It’s ironic that they have a platform that goes against their actions. And their fans still vote for them. What a joke! This is why they lose elections. >
  
  More republicans voter fraud >
  
  republican = fraud >
  
  I am shocked and appalled that elections officials in New York are corrupt.
