In this February 16th article in the New York Times, Sam Roberts takes an objective look at the vote tally issues that faced New York Democratic Primary voters. The article explains how major voting errors were initially reported during the primary. In New York’s “94th Election District in Harlem’s 70th Assembly District” it was initially reported that Obama did not receive any votes at all. Although there have been several articles on this subject, Roberts article has been the most objective and the most thorough in its speculation of what has happened.
Some articles have decried blatant fraud such another February 16th article in the rival publication the New York Post. In her article “Obama ‘Robbed’ in NY”, author Ginger Adams quotes Brooklyn City Councilman Charles Barron as saying "I think this is an all-out effort to stop a campaign that is about to make history and render America's first black president,” As it happens, Barron happens to be a former member of the Black Panthers and holds some rather controversial views of American Government. Adams did not quote anyone else in her article.
In what could only be described as a side bar in the February 20th edition of the New York Post, “Mike Claims Vote ‘Fraud’”, David Seifman used only 64 words to quote New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg as saying "If you want to call it significant undercounting, I guess that's a euphemism for fraud," Seifman offered no other explanations or elaborations in this poor simulacra of an article.
Of Course Alex Jones, whom I single-handedly blame for Ron Paul’s loss, (yes that is bias boys and girls) is still busy with the supposed fraud in New Hampshire and Willie Nelsons calls for the impeachment of George W. Bush
Even with the media hysteria over the caucuses and primaries of late it seemed that this issue has had a very light level of coverage. Our very own Austin American Statesman held no coverage of the alleged voting issues
However, in Sam Roberts’ article many options are explored. Roberts and his staff look at the possibility of “Voter confusion”, a term anyone who watched the 2000 elections is familiar with. (Think “Hanging Chads”). The “Voter Confusion” Theory was attributed to Jerome A. Koenig. Koenig happens to be an advisor to the Obama campaign and is also a former chief of staff to the State Assembly’s Election Law Committee. Magnanimously, Roberts, et al. do not stop there. The article also quotes Gordon J. Davis who is an Obama poll watcher claiming that “the machine had a mind of its own” In his previous job as the President of the Lincoln Center for Performing Arts, many New Yorkers would say Davis had the same issue.
The article also poses some very interesting points as to who was in charge where during this election primary.
In spite of all the speculation and finger-pointing, it is thought that the full recount and final confirmation will not be complete for several weeks.
