SPOILER ALERT
Earlier today, Sixth Ward candidate Jen Giattino picked up petitions for the First, Fourth and Fifth wards. Wait, DeFusco and Ramos picked up their petitions up long ago. Sounds to me like... spoiler alert.
Stay tuned.

My anonymous, plugged-in friend dropped by again. I had asked him specifically for more information on the permanent vbms.
What do I mean by permanent vbms? Over the years, a formidable stable of persons have been signed up by vote-farmers to receive mail-in ballots every election cycle. The population who receive these ballots are carefully tracked, and come election time their ballots are harvested. Those are the permanent vbms.
In spite of the federal investigation, guilty pleas for vbm bribery, and conviction of Frank Raia those votes are still out there. The big question is, will they be left to die on the vine? Or...
"Raia years ago signed everyone up as permanent vbms so his soldiers could eliminate one step of the process and the voters would just get the ballot and not have to keep filling out applications. People like [Redacted #1] , [Redacted #5], [Redacted #2], Calicchio, Holmes, [Redacted #8] , [Redacted #3] and others just took just seized the opportunity and went back to the same voters election after election because they knew who automatically got the ballots and obviously the same people [allegedly] received checks year after year.

[Redacted #3] I believe is cocky enough to have a crew out there collecting ballots because they are a good amount in the senior building 1st ward and MVP.
[Redacted #5] may have a problem because there are alot in the HHA and I dont know if he has anyone loyal enough to take the chance because [allegedly] 95% of those people arent giving up the ballots without their check.
[Redacted #1] has been famous for years for stiffing voters out of their check after [Redacted #1] got what they wanted from them.
[Redacted #10] is working behind the scenes for [Redacted #3] pulling together strategies and door knocking list. Providing phone list.
People expect Tiffanie, and Jen to be in run off.
[Redacted #3] is telling people he wins out right.

They are struggling to find someone to run against Phil in the 5th. "
Wouldn't it be entertaining if DeFusco, Giattino and Fisher all led in the 1st round and then lost in the runoff they oh so cleverly brought back?
ReplyDeleteOf course, to have a runoff, you need more than two candidates and so far only the 6th has more than two declared.
Personally, I think the more the merrier.
Anyone affiliated with Jen and Tiff are doing Ruben and DeFusco's dirty work. If you want to run, run independently, not with the overt or covert support of any of the 4 named individuals up above if you don't want to be seen as pond scum.
ReplyDeleteTotally don't get the implication of Jen picking up petitions for the wards of the VBM-buying wing of her party. Trying to guarantee a run-off?
ReplyDeleteYES, trying to force a run off, clearly.
DeleteThat's an expensive little trick if so.
DeleteWe’re not giving up without an incredibly dirty fight!
ReplyDeleteWhy would we implement runoffs if we didn’t intend to use them?? Wake up and smell the duplicity, people! The fun starts now.
