New York's Republican candidate for governor, Rep. Lee Zeldin, is reportedly the subject of a criminal election fraud probe launched by the Albany district attorney.

Zeldin himself was not involved in the process of submitting the signatures, according to the newspaper. That was handled by John F. Haggerty, Jr., who serves in a leadership role for the New York State Republican Party.
When news of the election fraud allegations initially broke this summer, Zeldin’s campaign spokeswoman, Katie Vincentz, denied that the Republican’s campaign participated or had any knowledge of the photocopied signatures and said Hochul was "desperate for any distraction" from her own failures regarding soaring violence in the state, calling the Democratic governor the "undisputed queen of scandal, abuse, and pay to play corruption."
