Bay Ridge Republicans Call for An Independent Monitor Due to Conflicts of Interest
The Board of Elections needs to be overhauled. They have one job – to hold fair elections for communities in NYC. Yet, every election season there are problems.
Our campaign is going to call out conflicts of interest between @KingsCountyGOP and @BOENYC EVERY TIME. #GhorraGate #FairElections #HonestElections pic.twitter.com/FzfixZa57a

Members of the Republican Party in Bay Ridge have requested an independent monitor for the upcoming petitions and primary election.
They shouldn’t have needed to do that because individuals with dual roles should have announced that they recused themselves from the local election. Also the Kings County Republican Party Chairman should have called for this as well! When you are the head of a party, you should be calling for fair elections.
If an individual is in a leadership position at the Kings County Republican Party AND you work at the Brooklyn Board of Elections, you should have recused yourself when it comes to challengers in your district. C’mon now, everyone knows that!
Ted Ghorra is being challenged by Stephen Maresca. Over the past few years, the Republican Party hasn’t done enough to move forward in local elections. Many people don’t even know that Senator Andrew Gounardes is a Champion of Bail Reform or that our area has been super gerrymandered by the Democrats. That’s how you know the Republican Party needs new leadership!
Vito LaBella should be given every opportunity to have a fair election and let the community decide who they want! LaBella has been an active member in this community years. LaBella’s answer at the interview was honest and tells Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights that he is more concerned with leading, than playing politics with the party.
The Republican District Leader should have stepped in by now. It’s singular because the male District Leader, John Quaglione isn’t going to speak out. (See here) The Republican Female Republican Leader, Lucretia Potter, knows what party shenanigans are and she should be ensuring that our community has a fair election.
This is very sad:
Kudos to Steve Maresca for being a voice of reason. This is Brooklyn. Dedicated Republican poll workers aren’t exactly around every corner. And telling a senior that they’ll never work the polls again over a leadership race explains why we always lose! #TimeForChange #Fairness pic.twitter.com/9N59c6Pexc

The Board of Elections should immediately appoint an independent monitor for the election. The Board of Elections needs to update the voter rolls and remove dead people or people no longer living in Brooklyn.
Hear Bob Cassara talk about that here:
Tweet for you:

All we’re asking is the @NYCBOE to do the job that they’re supposed to do. Make sure the voter rolls are clean and concise. Why does the @KingsCountyGOP accept the sad state of affairs? #GhorraGate #HonestElections #FairElections pic.twitter.com/BYAkhcuywP

Supreme Court Justice Patrick McAllister – Threw Out the Super Gerrymandered District Maps in Brooklyn
WOW I thought that the district maps were a done deal!
Thankfully an ethical judge heard the case and threw out the the new district maps which super gerrymandered our district.
When Senator Andrew Gounardes saw the map above, he did nothing to change it.
Andrew Gounardes always wants to talk about the Constitution and Democracy. Gounardes used to pointed out how the Republicans gerrymandered our district. When he had a chance to do better, why didn’t Gounardes do better?
Andrew Gounardes thought it was okay that he benefitted from a super gerrymandered district. That’s a sign that a politician is in office too long.
Gerrymandering is a form of corruption. During the last election, Gounardes’ wife Melanie sent me an e-mail where she wrote that she doesn’t understand what Andrew does. (See here) Melanie, Democrats tried to limit a community so your husband could win an election and Andrew was silent about it. He’s not helping anyone in Brooklyn, which deserves a fair election.
Brooklyn – please vote out every Democrat who stayed silent about these maps. Our elected representatives knew the Republicans did this so we should have seen them be professional and do the right thing for our community.

Most disappointing was seeing that Mathylde Frontus went along with this plan for redistricting – her district wasn’t that much different, but she knew ours was.
Frontus definately shouldn’t run any more redistricting forums because she didn’t believe we deserved a fair district.
Even though I don’t agree with Frontus on many things, I thought she would vote for Brooklyn. When I saw she approved the maps, I was angry because I thought we elected a better woman.
Councilman Justin Brannan spent $50,000 of our district funds for NY Law School “to teach people about redistricting.” (Source – Page 100 – 7th Line) Can we get our money back?
Since the funding did not “assure” that the new districts were fairer, equitable and representative, can we have our money back NY Law School?
District Leader, Chris McCreight made a little noise about redistricting in August. The Way Back Machine saved the deleted site. (See here)
Why was McCreight concerned with redistricting? Because Chris McCreight wanted a new district where he could run for office. McCreight quickly deleted the page below and never spoke out about the super gerrymandered district.
Equally silent was District Leader, Tori Kelly Burhans. Why didn’t Tori Burnhas speak out for woman in this district?
Iwen Chen never spoke out against these unfair districts. Our community is not divided by culture – we are one Brooklyn – no matter what sneaky politicians do. When Irene Chu failed to speak out against these district maps, she showed she doesn’t believe anyone in Brooklyn deserves a fair election. We don’t need another pol who just wants to occupy the seat.

Fire on 5th Avenue and 82nd Street in Bay Ridge – Don’t Block the Hydrants
Around 4:00 pm today, there was a fire on the fourth floor of 510 – 82nd Street. (See video here)
Finally happening, a giant fire in Bay Ridge and thankfully because we have no enforcement, all of the fire hydrants are blocked illegally by cars. ? #bayridge pic.twitter.com/3O52WnHf02

It’s good it wasn’t a huge fire because a Ridgite noted that the hydrants were are blocked by cars all the time in this area.
