I won! Republican take over of WFP line thwarted

It was a nail-biter but today I found out that there is no way the Republicans can win the Working Families Party line even if they get all 11 contested absentee ballots from Schodack, they will not pull it off.

While it is good news for me and my running mates in District 4, it is disturbing that the Rensselaer County Republican machine goes this far in trying to limit vote choice.

And that is another thing voters can voice their opinion on: when you vote for a Democratic majority for the County Legislature, you are voting for open the doors on back door deals, patronage and the win-at-all-costs tactics the Republican machine has been employing for a decade.
