A couple of weeks ago, you should have received a records request I sent on behalf of my colleague Steve Doig at News21 asking for any records of voter fraud cases in your county since the year 2000. Since I hadn't heard from you, I wanted to follow up. My colleagues and I are compiling a database of all of the cases of voter fraud that have occurred in New York since the year 2000, and I wanted to ask you for details on all such cases in your county. https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ui=2&ik=b45c3eb9ca&view=pt&search=inbox&th=1387114714200ccb Page 1 of 2 News21 Mail - RE: Online Question Submission 7/10/12 8:46 AM Since I haven't heard from you, does that mean that there have been no fraud cases in your county since 2000?
