Blake Voting Scam Revealed – It’s Still 1 Vote Per Person – No strategy provides more than one vote
Gardner Magazine reached out to renowned election attorney Gerry McDonough to confirm a very simple concept, that it’s 1 person, 1 vote and that the nonsense being stated by Kimberly Blake and some of the write-in candidates is just that, nonsense. In the Tuesday election, you can only put in 1 sticker per sticker candidate. If you put in more than 1 for the same office, the ballot will get thrown out. Also, if you vote for less than 6 at large candidates, you still only get 1 vote per candidate. Voting for 3 doesn’t give you 2 votes for each of those people.
Gerry McDonough has been practicing law for over 25 years in a variety of settings. A 1991 graduate of Suffolk University Law School, he graduated at the top of his class, summa cum laude, with several awards, including the Alexander Cella award in Administrative Law. He was also Editor-in-Chief of the Suffolk University Law Review. Following law school, Gerry clerked for the Honorable Joseph Nolan on the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court.

Here’s a screenshot of the Kimberly Blake Election Voting Scam – What She states is a blatant lie
What McDonough made very clear: What Gerry McDonough stated was very clear: “So you can only put one sticker down. You can’t put two stickers. I mean, everybody would be doing that then. You know, any candidate on the ballot would be doing that and putting extra stickers in the box for their position. No, it’s not true. Well – This is not going to happen. You can put different stickers. You can vote for somebody in Ward 1 and put a sticker – the same sticker in Ward 2 and Ward 3 or at large or whatever, so long as you’re voting for different positions. You can vote for the same person, but it has to be for different positions. … Yeah, so just look at the ballot. Get a sample ballot, look at the ballot. It says vote for one. So if you vote for more than one, you get zero. It’s considered an overvote. And it won’t count at all. It’ll be zero. So they’re undermining themselves by saying put three stickers down, because if you put three stickers down, it’d be an overvote, and it wouldn’t count at all.”

As far as Kimberly Blake: During this election cycle and during the last one, Blake has put forward false allegations and information, prompting, Gardner Mayor Nicholson to state, “I feel certain lines have been crossed and a statement against these childish actions needs to be made. My opponent has made claims, rumors, and accusations about me, my family, co-workers, volunteers, and supporters that are untrue, unwarranted, and quite frankly – blatant misinformation. From posts on social media, to taunts yelled across the street at myself and my supporters- the lies have gotten out of hand. When they start to include family, friends, coworkers and supporters, something just needs to be said.” Full Statement from the Mayor, CLICK HERE.
