True News Demands The FBI Investigate the NYC BOE for Possible Criminal Activity in the Voter Count of the Presidential Race
In 2008 2,614,669 New Yorkers voted in the presidential elections.
This year according to the website politico only 2,053,871 NYC residents voted.
That means 560,798 city voters did not vote
this year.
Some of those missing votes
may be part of the 330,000 the board says it has in uncounted papers (stored in
garbage bags).
Even is half of those paper
votes are good that means that 400,000 New Yorkers this year did not vote.
There needs to be an federal investigation to
determine if Sandy caused the
hundreds of thousands of missing votes or if the incompetence of the BOE causing
long lines that caused hundreds of thousands of voters not to vote? Did the
internal infighting over where to place polling sites in a highly contested
state senate race cause the massive disenfranchisement?, as reported in True
News reported.
Skelos vs Crowley. fight where to place the polls If this board fight can
be documented then we have a serious criminal case against the BOE. Even more mind blowing is the turn numbers. There are 4,640,422 registered voters in NYC. According to the numbers on politico 2,053,871 New Yorkers voted that is a 44% turn out.

The Voting Plan for the Flooded Out Polls Has Been Delayed By Political Infighting
For
the last few days the there has been talk of creating a queens supper
poll at the Aqueduct Racino were all the the voters flooded out could go
to vote on elections. True News has learned why that plan has been
delayed until today. The political leaders who control the board have
been fighting each other for control or where the new pollings sites are
put. Board watcher cannot believe that the peoples constitutional
right to vote was delayed for so long on such an important vote. There
is a power struggle going on within the board between the Crowly forces
and the senate majority leader Skelos GOP board loyalists on where to
locate the supper polls in Queens because of the Addabbo Ulrich close
race . The GOP lead by Skelso does not want the Racino because they say
the place is controlled by Crowley and the democrats. According to BOE
insiders that fight has delayed a voting plan for 3 or 4 days.
According to today's NYP the BOE has decided on a comprised plan of 3
supper polling sites in Queens. But that delay means less voters will
know were to vote and less time for the incompetent BOE to set up
emergency tent polls. Katy Bar the Door Time Guys.
