NY-23: Hoffman Accuses Democrats of ‘Stealing the Election’
Edited on Tue Nov-03-09 05:06 PM by Ian David
Source: The Washington Independent

PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. – At a short press availability in his campaign office here, NY-23 Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman said that a GOTV volunteer’s tires had been slashed, and all but blamed Democrats for the dirty trick.

“There are reports that they’re bringing in the troops and they’re bringing in ACORN,” said Hoffman. “I think the Democrats are doing anything they possibly can to steal this election away from the 23rd district.”

The campaign gave reporters the name and phone number of Jeremy Kain, the volunteer who claimed to have his tires slashed, but asked to confirm whether he was accusing the Democrats of supressing the vote, Hoffman started to backtrack: ‘We’ve called in the police and the police will be investigating.”

The campaign is pushing this story hard after a wave of morning reports that Hoffman’s grassroots supporters were misbehaving. Attacks on ACORN, and allegations that Democrats are trying to steal this election, have been striking components Hoffman’s hard-edged late-game messaging.

1. ha -


UPDATE: Anton Troianovski of the Wall Street Journal followed up with the Plattsburgh police on this, and was told that the volunteer actually damaged his tire on a broken bottle. I asked Hoffman campaign manager Dan Tripp about this–he said he had no comment because the campaign had not heard this yet.

3. That's just to get the whacko-base riled up
in the unlikely event Hoffman loses - it will give them a chance to find their own Orly Taitz to launch endless frivolous lawsuits over the election.

13. if and when hoffman loses, be prepared for a massive case of whining.
that's what we have now folks, no longer are we up against the republican party, no, we are now up against who can scream, yell, stamp their feet and whine the loudest.

That is what these ultra right wing morons use as "tactics" to get their way. And if that doesn't work, they will begin to smear, malign and lie to get their way.

23. Ooh, pre-whining.
We can enjoy that already -- although we can't really savor it unless Hoffman actually does lose.

58. Claim of staffer's tires slashed turns out to be the staffer damaged his own tire!!!!!!!
http://washingtonindependent.com/66380/ny-23-hoffman-ac...

Update: Anton Troianovski of the Wall Street Journal followed up with the Plattsburgh police on this, and was told that the volunteer actually damaged his tire on a broken bottle. I asked Hoffman campaign manager Dan Tripp about this–he said he had no comment because the campaign had not heard this yet.

It’s not unheard of for a candidate to make an accusation like this without having all the facts, but it’s a strange sideshow in the final hours.

62. Sorry, but even ACORN can't win a seat with the kind of advantage this clown has in voter reg.
He lost because he's a RW extremist.
