[QUOTE=The New York Times]As prosecutors painted it, the scheme seemed logical enough: If a rustic village in upstate New York would not approve a townhouse development that would more than quadruple its size, then bring in new residents, register them to vote and elect a new village board.
But the developers, according to an indictment unsealed on Thursday, took shortcuts that made the scheme easy to pick apart as fraudulent: They placed toothbrushes and toothpaste in apartments when no one was actually living there.[/QUOTE]
Paid source I know. I posted about this two years ago or so. My grandma lives there and happens to be part of the people fighting the developer. Sorry for weird formatting, on mobile.
