In the last twelve hours or so, the 2021 Democratic Primary has been thrown into turmoil --- and it remains to be seen whether that turmoil turns into an absolute fiasco
Shades of election night 2020, where the election turned from a clear re-election victory for President Donald Trump into a "Big Steal" in about half a dozen key states, resulting in the faux-election of a faux-POTUS named "Biden"
Fast forward to the 2021 NYC Primary >>> Democrat mayoral candidate Eric Adams had what was described on Primary Night as a "commanding lead" --- and just two days ago, an "insurmountable lead" >>> then, POOF !!! TO THE "COMMANDING" - "INSURMOUNTABLE" LEAD FOR ADAMS
And now the New York City Board of Elections is saying >>> "STOP, WAIT, BUT, ER..., BUT, WAIT, STOP --- OOPS !!! WHAT A GOOF..... WE'LL GET BACK TO YOU SOON WITH BETTER NUMBERS --- WE PROMISE..... JUST A SIMPLE MISTAKE THAT WE CAN FIX, NOTHING TO SEE HERE --- WE PROMISE....." <<<
An interesting concatenation of cascading "votes" apparently resulted in Eric Adams' lead over his next closest opponent, Kathryn Garcia, dropping to just two percent (2%). When Mr. Adams' people watching the count complained about readily apparent anomalies in the new numbers, the NYC BOE supposedly quickly found their "mistake"..... A large tranche (traunch) of votes were the result of "test image votes" accidentally being counted as real votes; and another tranche of votes were the result of certain misplaced "absentee" ballots that were tabulated after primary night.
Not to worry, the BOE temporarily "stopped the count" (When did we hear that before ??? --- Oh yeah, election night 2020 !!! ) to look into things and fix the problems.....
According to the BOE, this is not a systemic problem with the ranked choice-voting mayoral primary --- it is a simple mistake that can be simply fixed. [Just give us time to put that fix in there..... for good.....]
To us, this is more Democrat corruption, with their NYC Republican partners standing by at their sides, and participating in all of it with their passivity. When elections can no longer be relied upon to give the people representative government, the people need to take to the streets and re-establish representative government by "any and all means necessary" under the Constitution.

Democrats would never steal elections from Democrats, would they?
Of course not, because it ain't stealing if everybody goes along with it. Just ask Bernie Sanders all about 2016 and 2020.
In the end the Judges appointed by Governor Cuomo in our appellate courts will choose the winners.
No more skanked choice voting.
A RESPONSE & A REMINDER: THE "THOMAS JEFFERSON" EDITION
TO ANYBODY TRULY INTERESTED IN OUR DEMOCATIC REPUBLIC, AND FREE, OPEN, AND FAIR ELECTIONS TO INSTALL AND MAINTAIN REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT THROUGHOUT THE LAND.....
DON'T FORGET THAT THOMAS JEFFERSON SAID THESE IMPORTANT THINGS --- SO IMPORTANT THAT THEY ARE ENSHRINED AS HISTORIC STATEMENTS IN THE OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS OF THE UNITED STATES
"... We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security...." (See "Declaration of Independence" by Thomas Jefferson & ratified and signed by other representatives from all corners of the country, "In Congress, July 4, 1776 - The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America" [https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/declaration-transcript]).
Jefferson intended to and did further enshrine those principles in the "Bill of Rights" --- clearly making the "Declaration of Independence" applicable to local, state and federal governments in these United States.
Nice history lesson. Does the BOE know about this guy Jefferson?
More important, does the BOE have former State Senator Martin Golden on its list of speed-dial numbers, or is he simply pre-programmed as "Marty" by somebody like Michael Ryan. After all, why would anybody want to deal with Simon Shamoun if they didn't have to.
Even if he is not as visible, Simon Shamoun is higher on Marty Golden's food chain than Ted Ghorra. How do you think the Lucretia Potter and John Quaglione deal got done. Without it, John Quaglione would have been history after Primary Day.
Simon is almost as useless as Ghorra. The only reason he realized there were any Republican primaries is because Ray was crying hysterically about how all their no show jobs was in danger if Heidi and Bob won. Tik Tok. You all had a good run while it lasted.
'Tik Tok' only scares Captain Hook.
Simon Shamoun is a highly regarded barrister in his field. Brian Fox is a rumpled schlub who will loose by 60 points in November.
612, sixty points is 80-20. I'm sure that BF will do better than that, probably twice as good, say 60-40, 70-30 at the worst.
Simon is an absolute weasel who would sell his soul if Golden asked him to. He has no balls or should I say someone else holds them
Thank you very much for that visual image.
Is 8:27 the guy from Lew Fidler way
All this tom foolery while a public servant has left us. Donald Rumsfeld served 4 Presidents and died with over 200 million dollars in the bank.
Those White House jobs must have great benefits.
"Rummy" was also a member of the U.S. Congress; and was a key Republican sponsor for the Freedom of Information Act; and once was Dick Cheney's boss at the White House.
Marko kept had a press conference today slamming the Staten Island GOP. right by his side was Liam McCabe. Does Liam have any GOP friends left after this and the Fernqndo Mateo debacle??
200 million big ones aint coming from a govt paycheck.
Does Bob have 200 mill in the bank?
The BOE is still posting results with 83% of pcts reporting. It's been 10 days and they still cant find 17% of the pcts?
You guys just don’t get it. There is no Republican Party left in nyc..period.
Kepi is a useless candidate who can’t win a race; Liam is only in it for Liam; the rest are not even worth talking about
Brian Fox is the leader we need even though he can't button his suit jacket
