It there are reports that there are large number of forged signatures found on the petitions that Eric Adams' campaign submitted to run as independent in the New York City Mayor race.
Well imagine that.
When hizzonner was asked about this, he said that it was just, "Part of the business."
This is, strangely enough true, for Eric Adams at least, because fraud has always been a part of his business.
One does have to wonder if this can get him kicked off the ballot:
Mayor Eric Adams’ re-election campaign submitted faked and fraudulently obtained petition signatures in his effort to secure a spot on the November ballot as an independent candidate, a Gothamist investigation has found.
Gothamist reviewed signatures submitted from across New York City and found people who said their names were forged, as well as people who said they were deceived into signing the petitions. In at least three instances, the campaign turned in signatures from dead people.
It should be noted that it is highly unlikely that this will effect his ballot access though, he submitted about 50 thousand signatures, but it does seem to be emblematic of his entire political career.
