Turning The Ballot Box Against Republicans

I am not an expert but I think we can take the house this next election also.

The Board of Elections' chief investigator is saying the mayor and his team were behind a criminal effort to help elect Democrats to the state Senate in 2014, and in return for contributions, deep-pocketed donors could potentially reap benefits from the de Blasio Administration.

Haslett-Rudiano came under scrutiny in 2013 for refusing to sell a townhouse that many said was becoming a health and safety hazard, New York Daily News reported. She bought the townhouse in 1976 for $5,000 and it was worth $5.5 million in 2013. But she wouldn’t sell it because of an emotional attachment. She owed $12,000 in back taxes on the house, located on W. 76th St., and violations were piling up.

New York Daily News said the house had broken windows covered by boards, dirty water pooling on the patio, and it was overrun by rats and frequently visited by vagrants. City Councilwoman Gale Brewer said that Haslett-Rudiano was “a very bad example of home ownership and public servant responsiveness. She’s not somebody who should be either owning property or, in my opinion, (be a supervisor) of the Board of Elections.”

Haslett-Rudiano was having trouble letting the property go because her late husband had always wanted to renovate it. She said his dreams were wrapped up in that building. She ultimately sold the building for $6.6 million in 2014.

1. Haslett-Rudiano Was Suspended For Possibly Skipping Required Steps When Cleaning Voter Records

Haslett-Rudiano, 73, wasn’t fired but she was suspended without pay, according to NBC New York. The suspension will stay in place while an internal probe is conducted to determine what happened that caused over 100,000 voters’ registrations to be purged in Brooklyn.

According to New York Daily News, she may have made an error when cleaning up the voting books. She may have skipped a required step that would have stopped the computer system from purging eligible voters.

Haslett-Rudiano is also the Republican Commissioner for the Board of Elections’ Overseas and Military Voter Services.

According to the New York Daily News, Haslett-Rudiano worked for the BOE since 1999 and made $113,000 a year.

I still think it is ridiculous to think someone only sold a building worth crap for 6.6 million dollars only to help Hillary.

What does Haslett selling the house have to do with Hillary?

Anonymous city elections officials said Haslett-Rudiano, who was in charge of the city's Republican voter rolls, had been "scapegoated," according to the New York Post. "It sounds like they cut a deal to make the Republican the scapegoat and protect Betty Ann," an anonymous Democratic elected official from Brooklyn told the Post, referring to Betty Ann Canizio, who was in charge of the Democratic voter rolls.

According to the Daily News, a building she owned on the Upper West Side of Manhattan was the subject of more than 20 Department of Buildings violations over the years after she'd let it fall into disrepair. The building, which she reportedly bought for $5,000 in 1976, was sold in 2014 for $6.6 million.

"If that had not happened, would that have changed the outcome of the election?" she asked. "It may have. And so long as that's out there as a question, I think we're looking at some deep fundamental questions about how we conduct our elections systematically, and what it is that we need to do to ensure that we're not left with so severe a level of doubt in that process."
