A New York District Attorney has opened a criminal probe into Republican gubernatorial candidate Rep. Lee Zeldin (R) regarding allegations of election fraud.
The same week absentee ballots begin going out to voters, the Albany County District Attorney's Office and the New York State Board of Elections opened a criminal investigation into thousands of duplicated signatures submitted during the nomination process as part of an effort to secure Zeldin another spot on the general election ballot as the Independence Party's choice while continuing to run as the Republican nominee.
According to Fox News, rumors of potential voter fraud began swirling earlier this summer but Zeldin's campaign quickly refuted the claims and said the congressman was in no way involved in the process of submitting the signatures. Instead, Zeldin's spokeswoman Katie Vincentz pointed to Governor Kathy Hochul‘s campaign's desperation to distract New Yorkers from her failures, calling her the “undisputed queen of scandal, abuse, and pay to play corruption.”
“After months of non-answers and finger-pointing, New Yorkers deserve to know who exactly was involved in Xerox Zeldin's election fraud scandal. The facts here are clear: Zeldin's campaign manager knowingly signed off on 47 volumes of petitions containing more than 11,000 photocopied signatures,” Hochul's campaign manager, Brian Lenzmeier, said in a statement on Sunday.
“As a congressman, Lee Zeldin supported legal efforts to overturn the 2020 election and pushed baseless conspiracy theories under the banner of ‘election integrity,' but apparently that doesn't apply to his own campaign,” Lenzmeier alleged. “His campaign is now implicated in a criminal investigation for attempting to defraud voters and Zeldin needs to be held accountable.”
In August, a spokeswoman for the New York Board of Elections confirmed to Fox News Digital that of the signatures submitted for Zeldin to run on the Independence Party line — in addition to the GOP ticket — just 39,228 were validated, falling short of the 45,000 required. Nearly 13,000 others were deemed invalid for a swath of reasons, including duplicate signatures, voters not properly registered, or incorrect addresses, she said. She did not comment on whether any photocopied signatures were found.
The probe into Zeldin comes on the heels of another scandal involving Gov. Hochul. Last week, reports revealed the Democrat governor agreed to pay “twice as much for COVID tests from a company tied to nearly $300,000 in donations to her campaign compared to other state vendors.” (RELATED: NY Gov. Hochul Hit With Another Scandal as Race Tightens)
According to the report, Hochul's campaign received $300,000 from a donor whose company, Digital Gadgets, later secured a $600+ million contract to supply rapid COVID tests for New York state. New York could have saved $286 million if it paid the same price as other states.

That district attorney needs arrested for going after people who disagree with her nazi thinking. The democrats have become the enemies of America and her people. New York is a hell hole. The justice system there is corrupt and run by Soros. So sick of these people thinking they can destroy people’s lives because they love America and her freedom. It’s the people in New York start demanding this attorney be charged with crimes against humanity and America. Your governor is not a American. Your whole state sucks.
This is the face of the demothug marxist Party that cannot win on its record or by real debate or by better ideas… it requires daily deception and persecution of challengers. This proves the incredible weakness of their ideas!
WHAT STICKS IN DEMO CRAW
😡—————🤮
It’s the stolen election the demo-marxists want unmentioned forever…
so WHY do only democrats stop vote counts?
so WHY do only democrats fight every audit?
so WHY do only democrats fight Voter ID, purging rolls of dead people & comparing # voted to the # registered? You told America by those actions you stole votes.
We are not all 7 years old!! 😡

No, but they are.
Yu can almost smell the pathetic Democrat desperation in this FRAUDULENT STORY!
Soros making laws in former USA?
Typical Demonrat drivel of accusing someone fo a crime they themselves are pushing.
More of the same – democrats weaponizing the government against their political opponents. Let’s not forget, NOBODY voted for Hochul. So, if anybody is an illegitimate candidate, it is her.
So typical for NY. The Democrats must be scared and know they will lose.
I wouldn’t believe a Democrat if they had a halo floating over their head.
The DemonCrats were described by J Edgar Hoover in Masters of Deceit. They have become virtually identical to the Communists of old: they would do anything no matter how immoral or illegal to neutralize or destroy any PERCEIVED opponent, MOREOVER whatever outrage they are now pursuing, they would accuse their opponent of doing the same.
