BUFFALO, N.Y. — With no arrests yet in a case of alleged ballot tampering in a New York county executive race, the Tea Party is offering a $5,000 reward.
The Erie County Sheriff’s office says it continues to investigate but a spokeswoman couldn’t say whether any arrests will come before Election Day next Tuesday.
The investigation began after at least 10 absentee ballots were found to have been pre-marked for Republican Chris Collins, the incumbent Erie County executive who’s in a tight re-election race against Mark Poloncarz, the county comptroller.
On Friday, western New York Tea Party coordinator Rus Thompson announced a $5,000 reward for an arrest and conviction in the alleged ballot tampering. He says the money was put up by an anonymous donor.
