(1,258 posts)She sells it to the daughter of Lowey, who is a Superdelegate for Hillary Clinton?
Or at least Nita Lowey is some sort of local campaign head for Hillary? This is in 2014 and it's sold for 6.6 million, a rundown eye sore bought for $5000 in the seventies and left to rot. Sold in a neighborhood where nicely maintained places sold for 4.7 million. But Diane manages to sell it to Donna(?) Lowey for 6.6 million. This doesn't feel like a bribe to anybody???? Paid in advance?
Now Diane is taking the fall, and she happens to be a republican who already has a reputation for fraud. She fraudulently represented herself as living in Brooklyn so she could keep her leadership position when in fact she lived in Queens in 2005. Right?
And the head of the BOE who would be in charge of investigating the purging and other acts of election fraud is also a Clinton elected delegate or Superdelegate? So they would have no incentive to really investigate if it harmed the Clinton Campaign.
I'm just connecting all the dots and trying to get my head around this. It's weird to me that Bernie Sanders handily won Colorado where we have a closed caucus.The thinking has been that it was the young vote but there were only 3 youngsters in my precinct of about 130 people. Very under-represented actually. We went for Bernie 2 to 1. The only thing consistent with the national story is that the people who voted for Hillary were white middle aged women almost exclusively. A few men.
So what I'm trying to say is that supposedly Caucuses favor Bernie because they are open and that lets independents vote. That wasn't true in Colorado. And caucuses favor the nimble and flexible hour (really?) young but in fact I found it was difficult for college students because they couldn't get back to their home precinct. Hence, we had 3. I know this is only anecdotal.
I'm thinking that maybe the closed primaries where people are voting have been corrupted. New York is just very blatant. Clinton had a little too much help with her fans there. I thought that about George Bush, just didn't think it would be so within the Democratic Party.
Is there a way to elevate the investigation to the Federal level? Somebody not already pledged to one candidate or another? I wish we still had real investigative journalists. I'd like to know how many people had their affiliation changed to independent in the last year. And was the signature an obvious forgery. Things like that.
We need everybody over 18 automatically registered to vote, they can't be purged, they keep their voting right even if they go to jail, and the votes need to have paper receipts which are hand counted to tally up with any automated vote counting. No more superdelegates or closed primaries either. If the other party can mess up your primary by voting in the wrong candidate then you probably need to work on your message to your people. Primaries and GE should be a holiday. Emergency people get half shifts.
There must be a way to let peoples votes be counted with transparency and a reasonable amount of privacy. Both for primaries and the GE.
