The new farm team

We got wiped out in Dutchess. (0.00 / 0)

The widespread voter intimidation by the county GOP certainly didn't help though. There's no way the stuff they pulled was legal.

Is there anyway to complain about this outside of New York's idiotic bipartisan election boards?

And I'm not just talking about the ridiculous court injunction (0.00 / 0)

though that was certainly part of it.

Here Here (4.00 / 1)

And this goes to the lack of a centralized effort in this state.  The Party Machine doesn't care about growing an active bench in New York State.  We as progressives need to do it on our own.  

For example, Woodbury just elected a 22 year old Town Councilor named James Skoufis.  I had the pleasure of working on a congressional campaign with Skoufis in 2006 and he's very bright and a good progressive.  The fact that he's already an elected official is wonderful.  That sort of long-term growth is necessary to increase our influence in government and grow our bench.
