I considered them throwaway lines, but Espaillat did paint himself as the victim of a stolen election waged between the old guard of Charles Rangel vs the changing demographics of that particular seat. And when you have competing alliances between voting blocs, (hispanic vs Black) which way do the party bosses go?

"70 Electoral Districts came in at zero?
That's totally unacceptable in New York State.
I thought that stuff happened in Florida or Miss. somewhere, but not here, he explained,
adding later, '"I believe it was 23 ED's that were reported as zero in the Bronx.
There were 24 ED's right here in my original 72nd Assembly District where I represented for 13 years, 13 in the 71st.
And only 7 in Harlem and East Harlem.
"I think that's highly irregular."


OMG - LOL.....agreed very irregular!
