Bloomberg Accuses Elections Board Of Fraud

Never one to miss a chance to opine on Presidential politics, our Mayor was served a nice juicy fastball up the plate after the NYC Board of Elections severely screwed up the count on February 5th. We were all told that New York would deliver for Hillary and for the most part it did, but the BoE under-counted Obama's votes in quite a few precincts. So our Mayor, being the pseudo-candidate astute observer of politics that he is had a few things to say about the vote counters.

From The NY Post:

February 20, 2008 -- Mayor Bloomberg charged yesterday that "fraud" was behind the unofficial results in the New York Democratic presidential primary that produced zero votes for Barack Obama in some districts.

"If you want to call it significant undercounting, I guess that's a euphemism for fraud," said the mayor.

Unofficial tallies on election night gave Obama no votes in 78 out of more than 6,000 election districts.

Hmm, 78 out of 6,000 equals what? 1.3 percent or something like that? I wouldn't go as far as saying that there was active fraud going on for Hillary, you know there were precincts that didn't register votes for her either. Of course Bloomberg has the ability to say anything about anything, even if the ground to say it on is shaky.

Let's see some proof before throwing that kind of crap around Mr. Mayor....besides, there is plenty more out there to accuse her of that can stick better than a few under-counted votes that ended up being counted.
