New York, NY – Claiming a handful of deceased voters have been mailed absentee ballots for today’s special election, an attorney for Republican congressional candidate Bob Turner told ABC News that he has obtained a court order to seal all paper ballots in New York’s 9th Congressional District, pending judicial review.

“We found five dead people, confirmed, who were mailed absentee ballots,” said Turner’s attorney, Grant Lally. “Some of these people have been dead for years.”
Lally said he also knows of at least one person who came to the Turner campaign claiming he or she had been sent an absentee ballot, even though the voter had not filled out an application.
“They just got it in the mail from the Board of Elections,” Lally told ABC News two hours before the polls closed Tuesday in the tight race between Turner and Democratic state assemblyman David Weprin.
“Either it is a massive failure at the Board of Elections, or someone is fraudulently filing absentee applications,” Lally said, suggesting that the number of absentee ballots known to have been sent to deceased voters may just be “the tip of the iceberg.”
“This is an indication that there may be widespread voter fraud going on,” he said.
Calls and emails to Weprin’s campaign were not returned.
wow this is a finster galechter!
I smell a big loser.
Maybe he didn’t want to win so he is contesting. 🙂
It’s not challenging the results, it’s just challenging the absentee ballots!!! This is an example of how you can say the same thing in 2 ways, and it should actually mean 2 opposite things…
Maybe he actually does know something WE don’t know!
For some strange reason the voting machine was broken here on Elmwood Aves. and Ocean Parkway when I voted this morning. They used paper ballots instead. Later when my wife went to vote it was working already.Turner should get a monitor there to count the paper ballots at nine pm so that the democratic ganovim dont dump the Turner ballot votes.
Happy someone wont let Chicago style fraud steal this election.
What if the dead voted for him?
Maybe they were niftar before Wiener resigned so they would arguably still be eligible to vote.
Maybe the koch brothers can call in the waukesha county elections commissioner to discover missing votes like she did twice earlier this year
Well its no secret that the Obama Chicago Get Out The Vote Campaign was in town for this election & in Chicago dead people ALWAYS vote so why not here!?!?
What do the Democrats have to do to lose the Jewish vote? They could outlaw Milah, Shechitah, and mandate religious tolerance classes in all schools (like Quebec), and the Jews would still vote for them!
Does anyone remember the old slogan :”Vote early and vote often.”?
