CONSERVATIVE PARTY URGES VOTERS TO VOTE COLUMN “C” AND TO REJECT ALL FIVE BALLOT PROPOSITIONS BY VOTING “NO”

The Conservative Party organizations representing the five counties of the City of New York urge voters to support its nominees by voting for its candidates on Column “C” and to reject all five ballot propositions by voting “NO” on each question. This recommendation is especially directed at Propositions 1, 3, and 4, each of which increases the potential for election fraud and
manipulation.

“This year’s ballot propositions will weaken the independent redistricting process and put it back in the hands of partisan politicians so that they can draw legislative district lines to serve their interests and not that of the electorate,” said Kings County Chairwoman Frances T. Vella-Marrone. “In addition, they will allow for same day voter registration, universal vote by mail and ballot
harvesting which will erode our electoral process and make it ripe for fraud. I urge all New York voters to vote NO!”

“A no vote on the ballot propositions is a vote for the people of the State of New York,” said New York County Chairman Stuart J. Avrick. “A yes vote is a vote for the politicians of the state who only care about their political jobs.”

“This is another attempt by the Democrats to change the rules so that they can stay in power,” said Bronx County Chairman Patrick McManus. “New Yorkers should be fed up at this point. It is about time New Yorkers vote down these propositions and vote these people out of office.”

“If adopted, these proposals would only further diminish public trust in the integrity of our elections,” said Richmond County Chairman David Mario Curcio, whose county organization endorsed the secession of Staten Island from the City of New York earlier this year. “Rather than expand the potential for fraud, New York should be adopting photo identification requirements and enhanced signature verification to assure the legitimacy of the electorate and
restore public confidence in our election results.”

Election Day is scheduled for Tuesday, November 2, 2021, preceded by nine scheduled days of early voting. The Conservative Party encourages voters to VOTE COLUMN C and to VOTE NO on all five ballot proposal questions which will appear on the reverse side of the ballot.
