One might think that this applies to only Carl and myself. Thing is, one needs to understand that the "Working Families Party" equals "ACORN."
Judge to act in vote case
Court anticipated to name special prosecutor to probe Troy primary absentee ballot fraud allegations as WFP officials call for investigation

TROY -- A special prosecutor is expected to be appointed Monday to investigate widespread allegations of voter fraud linked to dozens of absentee ballots on the Working Families Party line in the city.
Two people familiar with the case, which was first publicly exposed in Saturday's Times Union, said Rensselaer County Judge Robert Jacon may make the appointment. Last week, District Attorney Richard McNally, a Democrat, privately notified the court that his office would recuse itself from the investigation, the sources said.
The voting scandal centers on allegations that people associated with the city's Democratic party forged absentee ballots attributed to several dozen voters, including students and people living in the city's public housing complexes.
The ballots were listed under the names of people who had registered to vote on the Working Families Party line. The WFP has been a battleground third-party line between the city's Republicans and Democrats for years. In all, about 50 WFP absentee ballot applications were filed in Troy out of about 126 county-wide.
It's unclear whether the forged ballots would change the outcome of any of the city's primary elections that were held Sept. 15.
