“Update from the Roller Coaster Ride Known as The Race for State Senate District 27 in Brooklyn“: A judge today signed a subpoena order for Alla Pometko, a former consultant to the campaign of Republican David Storobin (who remained up by three votes over Democrat Lew Fidler at last count). The Fidler campaign has accused Team Storobin, through the work of Pometko, of perpetrating a potentially game-changing election fraud scheme by submitting sketchy absentee ballot applications. . . Judge Larry Martin also dismissed the Storobin campaign’s request for summary judgment and “ordered Fidler’s attorneys to submit a ‘bill of particulars’ which would, in theory, contain supporting evidence to support their fraud claim. We have no idea what that bill of particulars will contain because they haven’t given us any clue in court,” Simpson said.
Little is clear in this case except that a NY state Senate seat hinges on a mere three votes, a miniscule margin easily swayed by just a handful of fraudulent votes. So how much fraud is okay? Ask Storobin and Fidler:
