Your vote doesn't count for enough? Buy (Most of) the town then.

[QUOTE]BLOOMINGBURG — FBI agents swarmed this tiny village Thursday morning, raiding at least a dozen buildings owned by developer Shalom Lamm — including his offices — in an effort to learn if the more than 140 people registered to vote at those buildings actually live there.

The early morning raid, part of a larger investigation into corruption in the village, comes after opponents of Lamm's 396-home Hasidic development charged that he is trying to manipulate the March 18 village election.

Those opponents say that the people with addresses in Lamm's buildings don't live there. At least 100 of those registrations in this eastern Sullivan County village came after January 1.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE]"He is moving in anyone he can so they can register to vote and get who he wants elected, whether it's (Mayor Mark) Berentsen or a write-in," said Bloomingburg's Amanda Conboy recently. "It's voter fraud and it's happening right in front of our eyes."[/QUOTE]

(There's a plethora of sites mentioning this but this is the only one I've seen that isn't 2 or 3 sentences long. Site has a 3 views per person before subscription thing though.)

For the TL:DR- A Hasidic developer (Land) is allegedly buying up a plethora of houses in town then falsely registering voters so he can sway the votes for mayor by a landslide. Thought it was interesting because basically everyone the town goes to about it refuses to look into it because said people they go to are afraid of being called anti-Semitic or something of the sort. They weren't expecting the FBI to take it up. Oh and eh, my Grandmother lives there too.

Bitch please, this sort of thing is open fact, at least in these parts, we've even had gerrymandering take place in my state to polarize votes on communal and caste lines too. They spend hundreds of thousands of dollars equivalent every year pulling shit like this to get votes. Our election commission can't do much about it, either. When they try, these people cry foul and accuse the EC of deliberate targeting.
