NY-23: Hoffman Accuses ACORN, Unions of ‘Tampering’ With Election

“„

Dear Fellow Conservative,

“„

As evidence surfaces, we find out that reportedresults from election night were far from accurate. ACORN and the unions did their best to try and sway the results to Obamacare supporter Bill Owens.

“„

I was forced to concede after receiving two pieces of grim news – - down 5,335 votes with 93 percent of the vote counted on election night – and barely won my stronghold in Oswego County. On Election Night, the information we received was far different from what we received this week!

“„

Rest assured, they will not succeed, and I am therefore revoking my statement of concession.

“„

That is why I am writing you today. Recent developments leave me to wonder who is scheming behind closed doors, twisting arms and stealing elections from the voters of NY-23.

“„

I’m sure you are as dismayed as I am to learn of the mischief that took place in Oswego and neighboring counties. We know this would not be the first time for the ACORN faithful to tamper with democracy.

“„

Now it’s time to actually count every legal ballot and I need your help to ensure the people of NY-23 get the Congressman THEY ELECTED. Please donate now to help me ensure every vote is counted!

“„

A recanvassing in the 11-county district shows Owens’ lead has narrowed to 3,026. In Oswego County, I was reported to lead by only 500 votes with 93 percent of the vote counted election night, but** inspectors found I actually won by 1,748 votes**

“„

Let’s force them keep this recanvassing active! Let’s give this election a chance to end differently!

“„

The district’s second biggest voter turnout was in Jefferson County, where I had also benefited from a turnaround since election night, gaining another 700 votes. Owens led by 300 votes on the final election night tally, but after recanvassing, I’m now leading by 424 votes.

“„

Jerry Eaton, the Republican elections commissioner for Jefferson County, said inspectors found a problem in four districts where my** vote total was mistakenly entered as zero**.

“„

The new vote totals mean the race will be decided by absentee ballots, of which the state Board of Elections distributed about 10,200.

“„

The people of NY-23 deserve to have their ballots counted properly, but we can’t let ACORN or the unions keep that from happening. They have more lawyers and more experience tampering with democracy.

“„

State Board of Elections Communications Director John Conklin said the state sent a letter to the House Clerk last week explaining that no winner had been determined in the 23rd District.

“„

Now it’s time to actually count every legal ballot and I need your help to ensure the people of NY-23 get the Congressman THEY ELECTED. Please donate now to help me ensure every vote is counted!

“„

We need to make sure that fair elections are a reality in NY-23, just like our Founding Fathers envisioned So long as we remain the “land of the free,” we MUST ensure every vote is counted.

“„

Help us today so we may be the first of many conservative victories during the Obama Regime.

“„

Yours in Freedom,

“„
