4th Ward Post 20-Day Election Reports are out for Tim Occhipinti and Mike Lenz

The 4th Ward Post 20-Day Election Reports are out for Tim Occhipinti and Mike Lenz. One key campaign person from Mike Lenz's campaign had this initial reaction....

"Lenz Elec: 16 pages
Tim Elec: 115 pages

Approximately 95 pages of workers at 6 workers a page: 570 workers + 78 from first ELEC = 648 workers (if all unique) for an election where he only won 1200 votes.

Hilarious."

More analysis to come......

Where were these "workers" on election day? I was out that day and evening (as was my spouse) and I didn't see even a fraction of the number of Occhipinti "workers" paid for 11-02-10... not a fraction and neither has anyone else I know who was out campaigning that day..... the 4th Ward isn't big enough to miss seeing so many "workers." More questions than answers at this stage. Love to know the VBM list relationship to the paid "workers."

I wonder how this would work out if they didn't allow candidates to pay for more than a certain number of people to run their headquarters.

Requiring that campaigns issue 1099's, similar to independent contractors to these "workers" or deducting income taxes and social security would quickly make this vote-buying scheme lose its appeal for both the buyer and seller. Additionally, the IRS could randomly follow-up and see how many of these "workers" reported this forty dollar windfall on their income taxes.

The stench of this will follow Occhipinti far into the future of his short little political life. Sadly, he's been used by those who will not take the fall when the time comes.

Or some enterprising resident could report all these people to the IRS for non-payment of taxes on this income. What do you want to bet that not 1 person making even up to a couple hundred bucks reports the income?

Simple math facts for this election:
Tim spent 76k -mike spent 34k.
Tim paid roughly 570 workers $40
600 total vbm ballots submitted
35 for Lenz, 565 for Occhipinti

Amazingly, an almost one to one correlation of paid workers to VBM for Tim. What is the statistical significance of such an occurance?
