Did ACORN’s Working Families Party steal an election in New York?
Fox News is reporting that absentee ballots were fraudulently cast with stolen identities, and that the number of allegedly fraudulent votes was enough to potentially tip the election in the favor of Working Families Party candidates.
Brian Suozzo voted with an absentee ballot in the Working Families Party primary on Sept. 15 because, as his application stated, he was “at home recovering from medical procedure.”
Jessica Boomhower’s application said she would be attending a “work conference in Boston.”
Michael Ward couldn’t vote in person because he was “taking care of elderly parent.”
Kimberlee Truell was on a “Bus trip to casino,” as was Miguel Vazques.
The only problem with these absentee ballot records at the Rensselaer County Board of Elections in Troy, N.Y., is that they’re phony, voters and investigators say — and they’ve prompted what’s being called an unprecedented investigation of suspected voter fraud.
One person who must comment on these developments is ACORN Chief Organizer and Working Families Party co-founder, Bertha Lewis.
Also from the Fox News article linked above:
Critics also accuse the Working Families Party of having a long association with the troubled activist group, ACORN. Bertha Lewis, ACORN’s CEO, is one of the party’s co-founders. The New York Times reported this month that “Patrick Gaspard, the White House political director, worked with ACORN in New York to set up the Working Families political party and sat on the party’s board with Ms. Lewis.”The WFP has also endorsed New York Democratic Sen. Kristen Gillibrand, who was one of only seven Senators who voted against cutting federal housing funds to ACORN in September.
Patrick Gaspard might be a good person to seek out for comment, too. He shouldn’t be hard to find since he works for the White House.
If you are scratching your head wondering how a leader of an obscure, local third party could wind up in an influential position in the Obama administration, it might have something to do with the fact that Barack Obama, in addition to being the nominee of the Democratic party, was also the proud nominee of the Working Families Party in New York State.
Yes, that’s right – when Barack Obama ran for president in 2008 in the state of New York, he did so as a member of the Working Families Party.

Below is Bertha Lewis in her own words, asking people to vote Obama on the Working Families Party line:

And here is a commercial [below] which Working Families Party produced, urging people to vote Obama on the Working Families Party line:

This is not just a loose association with the group. This is a full embracing of the Working Families Party platform, which includes socialized medicine, “making the wealthy pay their fair share,” and redistributing property tax dollars evenly across all districts to fund public schools and universities statewide.
Again, in their own words [below]: “Tax the rich and give it back to the poor” (1:20):

The major benefit to being a member of a group like ACORN and SEIU’s Working Family Party, is that the relationship comes with its own built in mob-action media machine. This comes in very handy when you want to send people to the homes of AIG employees to vilify them for bonuses the government signed onto just months earlier.
If you are struggling to remember that event, the fine folks at Working Families Party produced a short video about it.

This is the very group whose anger President Obama said he didn’t want to quell.
No wonder he supported them. They supported him.
Change!
