The Intrigue at the Board of Elections
On January 23, Columbia Paper published a story by Debby Mayer on the situation that resulted in a replacement being sought for longtime Democratic Commissioner of Elections, Virginia Martin: "Dems: Help Wanted, full-time job, $65K." Yesterday, Enid Futterman published on imby.com an account of the circumstances, which she calls "dirty Democratic party laundry": "The Loss of Virginia Martin: The case against the ex-commissioner crumbles." In the article, Futterman calls Mayer's article "a Cliff Notes version that was, at best, incomplete; at worst, sprinkled liberally with errors." Futterman accompanied her article with this picture of Virginia Martin (right) with Senator Kirsten Gillibrand.

It was a hatchet job. And I know exactly who was behind it. I'm so disgusted about it. And it was shooting ourselves in the foot. We had a great commissioner, nationally admired for her work to keep elections from being tampered with. That's a HUGE issue and she has done so well. But our party people are just as corrupt on the city level as the national level. Very disappointing, to say the least. And astonishingly short-sighted. SMH
