Voter Fraud In Upstate New York

This isn't just a case of fraudulently registering a bunch of fictitious people to vote to get a bonus from your ACORN boss. This is real voter fraud and it of course involves Democrats, whose win by any means necessary mentality continues to push their rabid Kool-Aid drinking minions to engage these types of acts.
Lambersten's lawyer, David Gruenberg, calls what happened "the worst case of election fraud that I have seen in 32 years of practice" in Troy. "It goes far beyond what I have seen before because it involves fraudulently casting votes for individuals." He says the fraud was carried out by "individuals associated and working with the Democratic candidates ... they are working to get the WFP lines for their candidates in the general election."
This story is unfolding in upstate New York and it involves a group of people submitting absentee ballots for some real citizens. Citizens who did not vote or were denied their right to vote based on an absentee ballot already being on record for them.
Thirty-eight forged or fraudulent ballots have been thrown out -- enough votes, an election official admits, to likely have tipped the city council and county elections in November to the Democrats. Candidates would have been able to run both on the Democratic and Working Families Party lines in two weeks, and that could have given the Democrats in the general election.
This article is skimpy on details explaining exactly what the importance the Working Families Party is, but in if I am understanding it correctly, it is a sort of third-party which allows candidates from the two other major political parties to campaign under, even though it appears designed primarily to be a surrogate for the Democrats. What the Democrats would do is put their 'A' team candidates on the Democrat ticket and their 'B' team on the Working Families Party. The Republicans are allowed to put candidates on this party also. The Democrat's intent, and if what appears to have happened happened, is they were able to stack the deck with double the number of candidates.

I cannot figure out why, if they already had the deck stacked, they felt the need to further engage actual voter fraud. But I forget, this is Democrats we are talking about, who for so long have gotten by with so much that they no longer see any problem with the way they run elections.

"It's not the person who votes that counts, rather the person who counts the votes" said by somebody smarter then me.

JWF Updates: The Working Families Party is a hard-left socialist group joined at the hip with ACORN. Scroll down in the Fox News link for this.
The Working Families Party has recently gained strength, and controversy, in New York. Republican and Democratic candidates in the Empire State can also run on third party lines, such as the Working Families Party, as well as the Liberal, Conservative, and Independence parties, among others. The extra line means extra votes that could bring victory.

Hillary Clinton garnered 2.7 percent of her total votes from the WFP line when she first ran for Senate in 2000, which increased to 5 percent of her total vote in 2006. In September, Clinton's former campaign manager for her 2000 Senate run, New York City Councilman Bill DeBlasio, who has been endorsed by the WFP, beat two long-established politicians in the Democratic primary. Critics also accuse the Working Families Party of having a long association with the troubled activist group, ACORN. Bertha Lewis, ACORN's CEO, is one of the party's co-founders. The New York Times reported this month that "Patrick Gaspard, the White House political director, worked with ACORN in New York to set up the Working Families political party and sat on the party's board with Ms. Lewis."

The WFP has also endorsed New York Democratic Sen. Kristen Gillibrand, who was one of only seven Senators who voted against cutting federal housing funds to ACORN in September.
Is it any wonder why the White House is attacking Fox News?
