I’ve been casually reading the updates to this story for a couple of weeks.   What initially started out as a ‘small’ Democrat voter fraud issue, is rapidly turning into an expose’ on many years of Democrat Party voter fraud.   

New York – On Wednesday [last week], the first witness called to testify in the upstate New York ballot fraud case, Jermaine Joseph, provided the expected testimony – ballots were filled out on his behalf, votes were cast across a straight Democrat party line, etc.

But an interesting caveat was also revealed, something Joseph did not provide in his grand jury testimony – He claims he was paid for his troubles.  According to his testimony, Joseph was handed $10 for grocery shopping.

Today, another witness in the trial has given the same exact story.  Donell Patterson claims that he was asked to sign an absentee ballot, which he did.  Once the Democrats had a signature secured, they would fill out the remainder of the ballot with false information.  So far, this has led to perpetual misspellings of names, and ballots with excuses for why the victim would be out of town or unable to vote.  Problem being, the witnesses were never in the location that the ballot says they were.

In the end, Paterson was also handed $10 by a man fitting the same description as the first witness – a tall, bald man from City Hall.  In essence, the victims here were unwittingly signing over their civil right to cast votes in the elections, at a price of $10.

That’s what Democrats in Troy, NY feel about the right to vote – a right that people have died to ensure in this country, a right in which some people are still spilling blood for.

$10.  A gallon of milk and a box of cereal.  For your vote.

Here’s an added scary thought:  Mentioned during yesterday’s testimony by a State Police Investigator, was a statement from a political operative, Tony DeFiglio.  DeFiglio claimed that what was going on with the absentee ballots, had been happening for ’25 years.’

Here is the original Background Story:  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.”

However, “In fact, after the Democrats were caught in 2009 the records at the Board of Elections were searched.  More cases of fraud were found dating back to 2007 or 2008, all attributed to Democrat candidates and operatives.  Nothing from any GOP members.”

One particular case involved former Troy City Clerk, William McInerney, who resigned from his position after being implicated for falsifying absentee ballots dating back to 2007, the year he helped Democrats seize control of the Council.
