Invalidating 150,000 petitions on a technicality. Corruption at the highest level. Shameful behavior by ClearChoice and the Democrats.
Lying to get around the 12th Amendment in the Constitution is a "technicality"!?
His legal residence is in New York. If he had put some other address, they would be asking "well, why is he paying taxes and voting in NY?"
He lives in California to be with his wife. His defense is that he is renting a (small) room from a friend in NYC and isn't even on a lease.
He pays NY taxes because he has a business in NYC. He used his stupid falconry license from NY he had 'issued' in NY from since before he moved to California as part of his defense.
Right, so you've explained why he lied.
If you actually read the article, you would know that the judge based their decision on photographs of a small extra room that he claimed he could return to at any time with his wife, kids, pets, etc . They ruled that the idea was "preposterous, if not impossible".
Sounds like he's been voting illegally in NY for some time now. Taxes probably all fucked up too.
