No evidence of fraud in Dover, Judge says

A Superior Court Judge today upheld the victory of Carlos Valencia in the Democratic primary for Dover Alderman after a four-day trial, ruling that claims of voter fraud by defeated incumbent Ronald Camacho were baseless.

“There has been no evidence that there was an effort to fraudulently construct or produce votes,” said Judge Stuart Minkowitz. “There was no indication that any voter was forced or compelled. “

Nineteen witnesses testified at the trial, but Camacho’s attorney, Alan Zakin, only produced eleven voters. So even if all eleven votes had been invalidated, Zakin would still have been one short of overturning the election.

Zakin tried to add more witnesses, which would have extended the trial past the date that ballots are printed and mailed.
