Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY), a Trump ally who pushed lies about fraud in the 2020 election and who is now running as New York’s Republican gubernatorial nominee, has been booted from the Independence Party line on the state’s ballot over thousands of invalid petition signatures.
These asshats will go to any lengths to achieve their corrupt goals, taking their cues from TFG.
Oops!
Still campaigning, Nom Zeldin was overheard saying, “Even though I can’t count, you can count on me”.
has been booted from the Independence Party line on the state’s ballot over thousands of invalid petition signatures.
Once again the “election fraud” being perpetrated turns out to be by a Republican.
13,000 were invalid
Didn’t need to read any more than that.
I’ve started a list of all the Democratic candidates from across the country that have been stricken from the ballot this year for having more than 100 invalid signatures. Here it is:

Something is missing or does not make sense. If he’s running for guv on the GOP ticket, why would he be trying to appear on the Indepenence Party line of the ballot?
How the hell does that work?
While we’ve apparently found, both, our country’s election fraud and fraudsters, I can’t figure out how their scams invalidate Joe Biden’s victory.
NY allows the same candidate to run on multiple lines. I remember decades ago being urged to vote for a city councillor on the green line rather than the dem line. Used to be that Ds were always also on Liberal* and Rs were always also on Conservative but no reason they couldn’t be on 3 or more lines.
So the scam here is the attempt to gain legitimacy for whatever is the ‘Independence’ party
*I believe the L party was killed off by Andrew Cuomo as part of his machinations to keep personal control of state government
Presumably, Zeldin’s petitions to qualify under those parties weren’t so severely tainted.
In New York the candidate gets the total of all the votes he gets on the various lines.
The GQP, aka Trumpy Cult, is truly out of control. They are nothing but a bunch of griftting liars.
These phony signatures seem to have been discovered only because a challenge was brought. How many other phony signatures are out there?
Was the Independence Party using paid circulators?
OK, weird. It also seems like the parties would have a problem with this. After all, if he wins, which party is he representing? I realize there’s probably not a whole lot of daylight between them, but there must be something because breaking off into a 3rd party is a big risk when it comes to getting votes.
You think that Lee The Asshole Zeldin would have noticed what happened when his Republican buddies in Michigan got kicked off the ballot.
He would be a hero in Tex-ass.
The New York State Board of Elections found earlier this week that of the 52,096 signatures the Zeldin campaign had submitted in its petition to get his name on the Independence Party line, nearly 13,000 were invalid.
All I need you to do is find thirteen thousand, and er, one, signatures. Which, is one more than I have need*.
oops, I mean need.
Kinda like he who smelt it dealt it.
Zeldin is an insult to NYS.
