New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has used the “F” word to describe what may have taken place when zero votes were registered for Barack Obama during unofficial results at nearly 80 precincts in New York City on Super Tuesday, including several in heavily African-American areas such as Harlem.
“If you want to call it significant undercounting, I guess that’s a euphemism for fraud,” the tin-foil hat-wearing conspiracy theorist Mayor — who would not be welcome to post at the Daily Kos — is quoted telling the New York Post today.
Politico’s Ben Smith follows up today to report that a Bloomberg spokesman “reiterated the charge in an e-mail,” but curiously notes that Bloomberg, who “controls the police department” in New York City would not be launching an investigation.
“Loeser said he didn’t think there was actually a legal issue at stake in the preliminary, unofficial vote counts,” reports Smith.
So if we have all of that straight, the NYC Mayor’s office confirmed they believe there was “fraud” at work in the city’s Primary Election, but don’t believe there are any “legal issues at stake.” Interesting position.
For our part, The BRAD BLOG covered the curious issue of NYC’s zero vote totals as it emerged last week from a report by the New York Times (which included some misleading information, by the way, as we noted). We don’t know if the matter rises to the level of fraud or not. But if we were to use that word, we’d also be calling for a full investigation by every appropriate legal authority.
How the anti-Election Integrity folks who control the front page at the Daily Kos will have to twist and contort themselves to cover this news is beyond us. So we’ll simply continue seeking out information from knowledgeable and uncompromised news sources instead.
It’s only fraud … move along … no story here … American flag waived …
Here is the theme song for Amurkan electioneering.
Dredd, I like the Jackie Treehorn version better
he-he
The results are in for the effectiveness of wearing a tin hat!

The helmets amplify frequency bands that coincide with those allocated to the US government between 1.2 Ghz and 1.4 Ghz
Every N.Y.C cop should be interrogated, given a lie detector test and then Bloomberg removed from office. He is sanctioning election fraud. this is the great independent that was supposed to save the day for America. NYPD is a racist group of m——f—–. Don’t think Harlem and Brooklyn will go quietly into the good night. Bloomberg is toast. Sorry for the rant ..I love NYC but the law enforcement and mayor’s office is corrupt.

In Seattle we know how to throw a good fit leading to demonstrations and ultimately to riots (quiet and polite ones of course). What’s happening in NYC? I can’t believe Harlem and the Bronx would take this.
