Post-Election Blueprint for the Freedom Party
By Alton H. Maddox, Jr.
Until the enactment of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, Blacks were routinely banned from polling booths. Since 1965, leading Blacks and grassroots activists have failed, at best, and refused, at worse, to develop political education programs for newly-enfranchised Blacks. To add insult to injury, leading Blacks lack a knowledge of politricks.
Blacks went from disenfranchisement to plantation politics. This fits in well with a morontocracy. Under these circumstances, the ballot is a bullet. It is like smoking a peace pipe loaded with dynamite. A ballot is also a double edge sword. It is like giving a butcher a scalpel to perform a medical operation on a human being.
Voting irregularities have incipiently permeated American politics. Blacks have always been the scorn of election officials. The 1876 presidential election was critical to reversing the political gains of Blacks. A 15 member presidential commission compromised the rights of Black voters. Twenty-five years later, there was not a single Black in Congress.
There must be a constitutional convention to alter the New York Constitution which has created a criminal conspiracy involving the Democratic and Republican parties. These parties have a lock on manufacturing false election results. The unindicted co-conspirator is the New York Police Department which is allowed to seize control of election results and, later, transmit altered results to the Associated Press.
While an argument might be made that the Democratic and Republican parties are adversarial in nature, this argument may only apply when the electorate is mostly white. Unless whites are philosophically divided over the rights of Blacks, white supremacy requires whites to unite to keep control over them. Both political parties are opposed to Blacks enjoying the balance of power in New York.
Malcolm X said: "Of all the disciplines, history is best qualified to reward our research." Blacks and whites, however, have different approaches to history. Whites connect the dots of historical events. Blacks, on the other hand, see each historical event separately. No attempt is made to find a common thread. Thus, Blacks steer clear of creating concepts.
Accordingly, whites have witnessed the positive response of Black voters to Black controversial persons. Blacks repeatedly sent Cong. Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. back to Congress while whites had to sit on the sidelines. After Powell made his transition, whites implemented a solution: "He who pays the piper calls the tune". Gerrymandering is also in play.
Whites, including Mayor Ed Koch, had to watch Judge Bruce Wright, with Black support, being elevated to the Manhattan Supreme Court bench after Koch, acting on behalf of the PBA, refused to re-appoint him to the municipal bench. New York is a police state. Subsequently, Justice Wright was assigned to hear uncontested divorces.
In 1988, Koch was vehemently opposed to the presidential bid of Rev. Jesse Jackson. Blacks rebuked Koch. Instead of voting for Koch's pick, Al Gore, Blacks made Jackson a winner in New York City. This would encourage Black voters to put a Black person in Gracie Mansion in 1989.
Councilman Charles Barron challenged 12-term incumbent, Cong. Edolphus Towns, in 2006 with a political agenda that called for reparations for descendants of enslaved Africans. Barron lost by only a margin of ten percent. Assemb. Roger Green ran as a spoiler to protect Towns. Green received 15 percent of the vote.
It is unlikely that Barron, who was able to garner 15,000 votes in this congressional race, was only able to collect 20,000 votes in the state in 2010. New York has 29 congressional districts. There are at least fifteen congressional districts in New York with substantial Black populations. New York should have at least six Black members of Congress. Thus, Barron had to have received more than 100,000 votes on November 2.
No later than the second day after the general election, the Associated Press routinely publicizes its tallies. These election results come from the NYPD in New York City. For some reason, there has been an inexplicable glitch in 2010. As of this Monday, no official results have been published by the New York State Board of Elections. Something smells.
On this past Friday, the U.S. Justice Department wrongfully barred Alton Maddox from entering its building in Washington, D.C. in order to file a grievance. No federal building has ever been off-limits to a grievant since slavery. The right to file a grievance for a redress of grievances is supposed to be protected by the First Amendment.
Unless Gov. David Paterson has his head buried in the sand, he has already heard many complaints about the 2010 general election. The complainants include Mayor Michael Bloomberg, the Daily News, the Brennan Center of Justice for the NYU Law School and the Freedom Party. Alton Maddox was the first to file a complaint about the shenanigans of the New York State Board of Elections.
Afterwards and only a few days before the 2010 general election, George Gonzalez, Executive Director of the New York City Board of Elections, was fired for misconduct concerning the 2010 general election. Moreover, the Manhattan district attorney's office has instituted a criminal investigation.
Only Gov. Paterson has statewide jurisdiction to conduct a full, fair and complete investigation. The problem is statewide. Any investigation by the Manhattan district attorney's office can only impact New York City. Moreover, there must be a grand jury report, prepared under Article 190 of the Criminal Procedure Law, containing legislative recommendations.
Given the myriad, voting irregularities, the Freedom Party is not only entitled to a recanvassing of the 2010 gubernatorial vote but also a recount. The Democratic and Republican parties have recently secured recounts in Buffalo and in Long Island for control of the New York State Senate in 2011. In the meantime, the Freedom Party is inexplicably operating below the radar.
