NY Democrat faked signatures on election petition -- including 3 dead people: prosecutors

[RandySF]

An suburban New York councilman was charged after he submitted election petitions with fraudulent signatures — including three dead people, according to prosecutors and a report.

Rob Scott, 44, a Democrat serving on Peekskill Common Council, allegedly submitted a 2023 petition to run for a county lawmaker seat that was signed by individuals who died in 2012, 2017, and 2022, the Rockland/Westchester Journal News reported.

Eight other individuals whose names were included in the 37-page petition told prosecutors they’d never signed it.

Those and the dead men’s signatures were among the 537 on the petition Scott allegedly certified that he had witnessed himself.
