True News Update 24/7

True News Has Reported Exclusively That the BOE Was Incompetent and Corrupt for Years . . .  We Just Need A Disaster Until the Media and Understood and the Pols Who Run the BOE Were Cornered

True News Reported On the Political Infighting between the commissioners of the BOE on where to relocate polls in the Addabbo Ulrich race, delayed for several days the BOE plan for election day  (No Other Media Has Report That Fact) True News also reported taht the BOE is Dumping Ground for the City's County Leaders, For Jobs For Party Loyalists and Family Members. We even had a countdown clock to disaster (Election Day). We also reported missing votes and a criminal attempt to fix the ballot. We reported that Speaker Quinn and the City Council had to confirm each BOE commissioner.  We don't want to tell you we told you so, But we did.   BOE CYA Voter Plan and History of Corruption(True News)

 NYT: Yes Incompetence At the BOE

After a Chaotic Election, City Leaders and Watchdogs Call for a System Overhaul(NYT) Still no editorial The City Council plans to hold a hearing on Dec. 5

Mayor Michael Bloomberg and other city officials called for a complete overhaul of the city’s Board of Elections, as the City Council plans to hold a hearing examining the various Election Day problems, the Times reports:  * New York Elections Need a Makeover(NY Mag)


Why doesn't Quinn Get Criticized For the Boards Mess?
. . . She Has OKed Every Commissioner Who Works There
Bloomberg Charges: In New York City, the 10 Board of Elections members are recommended by the Democratic and Republican Party committees in each of the five boroughs and then confirmed by the City Council. The parties also play a central role in installing people in staff positions. The board currently has no executive director in part because the county leaders have not been able to agree on a candidate. NYT distracts and give ammo to fake progressives who are really BOE supporters and who made us buy these crappy machines, by publishing this crapProfessor Skeptical About Integrity of Electoral Process (NYT) Mark Crispin Miller of N.Y.U. argues that relying on electronic voting machines operated by private corporations invites fraud and poses a danger to democracy.

On July 16, 2012 True News Wrote  The City Council Is Responsible for the Corruption At the BOE and Can Reform the Place If It Wanted Too


How Undemocratic is the BOE to Want to Change the Date of the Mayoral Primary Because They Can't Do Their Work
Bloomberg for eliminating the patronage system by which the commissioners are appointed. “It should not be two parties and county leaders picking their buddies to supervise the basis of our citizenship.”  Changing the system, however, would require state legislation, if not an amendment to the State Constitution. And not everyone agrees that a nonpartisan system would be an improvement.“Some people have said we should have the mayor and the City Council appoint the members of the board,” Assemblyman Brian Kavanagh of Manhattan, said. But, he added, “when the mayor and City Council have an interest in the outcome of the election, how is that any better?”* Five ways to make long elections lines shorter (Wash Post)


Inside City Hall’s Errol Louis spoke with Board of Elections Commissioner J.C. Polanco about the long lines and communication problems at the polls on Election Day

NY1 Online: Board of Elections Commissioner Comments on Voting Issues  Baghdad Bob JC Polanco Part II

The critical question that Louis did not ask was why did it take the BOE several day to come up with a plan. JC blames the governor for his last minute order that says storm victims can vote anywhere. Here is what True News said last week: Board of Election Voter Suppression Plan for the Flooded Areas
Another important question Louis did not ask JC:
Why does the board have no way to communicate to the poll sites or its workers?

 True News Has Learned that the Cheep Paper the Ballots Were Printed on Caused the Rollers to Jam and the Scanners to Be Put Out of Service
JC Blames the new machines. Neither Louis or JC talked about the fact that the board uses cheep paper for it ballot that flakes and clogs up the scanners breaking them all over the city.

Louis blames one untrained senior for the delays at his polling site (2hrs).  The reporter is talking about a bad system of checking in voters, an incompetent poll worker leafing through a book, trying to alphabetize last names. Why not more books? Why not more inspectors?. Louis suggest someone to check in voters with an Ipad walking up and down the lines like they do at fastfood places. 
JC answers back about controls to prevent voters from signing in twice.  Perhaps JC has never been to a convention where the split the alphabet into two or more lines.  But what True News has learned that papers were missing from the registration boods and many voters were prevent from voting.  JC Answers back that the city needs early voting.  Louis says the training for the poll workers is a joke.  JC says they are going to college students to find better works.  Louis does not asked about the system that district leaders hire most of the poll workers on the basis of a reward for collecting petitions for them.

 I can't explain myself, I'm afraid, Sir, because I'm not myself you see. -JC Polanco, BOE, Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop - Louis, NY1

Louis: Early vote would be a start. Some professional people who have maybe passed some version of a test, before being put ahead of a line– Polanco: They’ve been trained. Louis: Training is not a test! Polanco: And then they pass their test! Louis: Look, I’ve done this. I’ve rounded up volunteers to work at the Board of Elections.You know, and I know, there’s no test. Polanco:Errol,there is! Louis: That says if you can’t find somebody’s name in less than 30 seconds, you don’t get to sit there and hold up a line for four hours.  Polanco: Well, I’ll have to see, that’s a question on the test. But there is a test and there is training. There is training for each one of our poll workers.

Gropez bombshell: No ‘Assembly’ required (NYP) A day after sweeping to re-election with a resounding 90 percent of the vote, embattled Brooklyn legislator Vito Lopez dropped a political bombshell yesterday by announcing this might be his last term in the Assembly.  “While I will continue to advocate fiercely for the residents of the 53rd Assembly District through this term with the commitment, dedication and devotion I always have, over the next few months, I will be evaluating my plans to seek re-election to the New York State Assembly,” Lopez declared.

Funny How the Press Spins Seddio the Reformer While the Political Consultant Knows Lopez is Connected to Lopez
From the NYP:“I’m sure he has some sway with the county committee,” chuckled one political consultant.

Senate Dems Say They Have the Majority
On Tuesday, Democrats clearly won 31 seats and Republicans 30 in a chamber that will grow to 63 seats next year because of redistricting...

NY1 Online: Democratic State Senator Speaks About Election Wins(NY1) * New York's GOP leaders hold out hope the party can keep (NYDN) Senator-elect Simcha Felder continues to be coy about what party he will caucus with in Albany. On the front page of Hamodia, under the headline, “Felder: My Loyalty Is to My Constituents,” Mr. Felder “reiterated his firm commitment to continue to consult daas Torah, and he stressed that he was beholden to his constituents and not any political party.” As a kicker for the article, Assemblyman Dov Hikind quipped Mr. Felder’s election “really increases the chances of having a minyan for Mincha on a regular basis when the legislature is in session.”  And the Democrats have leads in the two undecided races: Terry Gipson vs. Sen. Steve Saland vs. Neil DiCarlo, and Assemblyman George Amedore vs. Cecilia Tkaczyk. But the Republicans aren’t giving up in either case.* The Tkaczyk-Amedore race in the newly created 46th SD could take at least two weeks to resolve because the absentee ballot return deadline isn’t until Nov. 19 – it was extended due to Sandy. So far, 8,571 absentee ballots have been received by boards of elections in Montgomery, Schenectady, Albany, Greene and Ulster counties.

Senate in Their Hands
The Senate Republicans’ best hope at retaining control of the chamber is to convince five renegade Democrats (the IDC plus newly-minted Senator-elect Simcha Felder) to join their conference – or at least support Dean Skelos as majority leader. * An Albany possibility: a State Senate with a Democratic majority, but controlled by Republicans.  * In Contested Senate Races, Absentee Ballots Look Good For Democrats(YNN) * State Senate Democrats Grasp For Control Of Chamber(Gotham Gazette) * Upstate Dem unsure on Senate leadership question (CrainsNY) * “Just from an outsider’s perspective, this is an opportunity to impose a kind of discipline and order on your conference,” Former Cuomo aide Steve Cohen said of the situation. “If they don’t want to do that, then I have a hunch that whatever the numbers are, the Republicans are going to be in control. If they can do that, there are going to have to be structural changes. They’re going to have to impose a method to actually make decisions and govern.”




In the past thirty years just 53 to 56 incumbents have been voted out of office, according to a NYPIRG analysis. 
 

It’s Mayor Do-Wrong(NYP)

Monday morning, 1 million city schoolkids returned for the first day of classes in a week. But in some flood-ravaged areas, heat wasn’t pumping and classrooms were freezing. This was Bloomberg’s advice: “Please dress your children accordingly . . . If they’re chilly, extra sweaters for the kids is something that should make some sense.’’ By the next day, a nor’easter approached, and people from Staten Island to the Rockaways suffered in the cold. On this occasion, Bloomberg told weary New Yorkers what a great job he’s doing.“There’s always somebody who screams, ‘I didn’t have coffee for 24 hours. 


Killed in her home: Angela Dresch and her father George died on Staten Island because George was afraid to abanded their house because of looting.  George house was looted when he left in advance of last years storm
What an outrage!’ ’’ he Bloomberg actually said. “But for most people, they understand we’re in this together.’’Seriously? For decaffeinated and hungry New Yorkers, the mayor’s “let them eat cake’’ response to what’s shaping up as a humanitarian emergency reached a flash point last week. Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz begged him to call for the National Guard to come to Sandy-scarred areas of Brooklyn, including Coney Island, where looters ran free. But the gun-loathing Bloomberg, more accustomed to dealing with bike lanes and Big Gulps than loss of life and light, issued a knee-jerk answer that left one government source I spoke with gasping.* Mayor Backs Vote Winners(WSJ) Rep.
