The GOPers would like you to believe that there is widespread voter fraud. What they won't tell you at the national level, though, is that they're the ones committing the fraud, while party leaders try to deflect and pin the blame on the Democrats.
As fate would have it, one of those cases is in the hometown.
Troy councilwoman Kimberly Ashe-McPherson of Lansingburgh pleaded guilty on Wednesday on fraud charges in connection with last year's election, in which she'd won her 4th term. Mrs. McPherson resigned this morning, per the Albany Times-Union.
Mrs. McPherson e-mailed her letter of resignation to council president Carmella Mantello and president pro tempore James Gulli.
The difference between local Republicans and their national counterparts is that around here, we own our mistakes. Mantello did just a few years ago when she was picked up for DUI. Why can't the national GOP do the same? Because they bend the knee for a certain bloviating man-child who's allergic to truth and honesty. He'd never last more than 5 minutes in the hometown.
