Nancy Kern reports in Columbia-Greene Media that there are two complaints in the Tannersville election, with claims of harassment, discrimination, and fraud against inspectors working the March 21 vote. The complaints allege excessive questioning faced by longtime village residents about their residency and discrimination against minorities. One of the complaints says that election inspector and Village Republican Party Chair Gina Guarino filled in the ballot of an elderly resident. Guarino said of the complaints, “This is a Hail Mary from the mayor to try to hold on to an election he already lost. This man is an albatross to our village using smoke and mirrors and triangulation tactics to keep up appearances and spew false allegations where nothing exists.” A Greene County Board of Elections staff member said on March 27 that, “We received complaints. We will review them and respond after they’re reviewed." Village resident George Kelly said March 27 that he experienced similar harassment about his residency despite living in the village for the last 24 years. Kelly said, “There’s a very subtle intimidation, especially when you know who people are going to vote for.... Anyone that voted for the current mayor was questioned excessively. Once you’re playing games like that you’re trying to get police involved. When you make it such a hassle to vote that they walk off the line.” Current election results have David Schneider ahead by two votes, but there are two ballots that need to be cured. On March 26, McGunnigle said he would challenge the results if Schneider is the winner. “I’m not going to pull a Donald Trump,” McGunnigle said. Read more about this story at HudsonValley360.com.
