SPRINGFIELD, MA (WGGB/WSHM) - Candidate for Springfield mayor Justin hurst is being accused of voter fraud just five days away from election night. In affidavits obtained by Western Mass News, the allegations from Springfield election department officials detail what they witnessed this past weekend during early voting at city hall. They described voters being brought to the polls and expecting cash after casting their votes for hurst.
Hurst outright denied the claims that his campaign committed voter fraud and told Springfield citizens ahead of Tuesday’s election that he’s running a clean race.
“Any accusations that my team paid residents in exchange for their vote is unequivocally false,” Hurst said.
On Thursday, Hurst shot down claims that his campaign paid cash for votes during early in-person voting just days away from election night next Tuesday. In affidavits obtained by Western Mass News from the city solicitor, Springfield election officials told a different story. Springfield Elections Commissioner Gladys Oyola-Lopez said, in part:
“As of Friday, October 27, we noticed a marked increase in the number of walk-in voters at city hall... Periodically, the voters that came in would discuss among themselves about receiving payment. They stated they must take the ‘I Voted’ sticker as proof they voted.”

Let’s hope there’s video.
I scoped the entire article and no mention of party affiliation ,go figure.
The left forgets that if someone will cheat against the GOP candidate, then they will also cheat against the other democrats in the primary. They are now so blatantly open with the cheating because nothing was done about 2020 and 2022.
From the article at the link:
In city surveillance video obtained by Western Mass News, you can see what appears to be a black SUV bringing people to and from the polls. In her affidavit, Oyola-Lopez referred to this and said, in part:
“We were able to ascertain from the video footage that many individuals who were dropped off the black Suburban and black Expedition entered city hall, voted and left in the same aforementioned vehicles. At one point in the footage, two women and one man can be seen showing the man in the red/white/blue shirt something. The man then takes out what appears to be a large bundle of cash and peel off a bill and hand it to each person.”
AND
“In his press conference Thursday, Hurst said he has seen the surveillance footage and admits that the person in the footage is a volunteer in his campaign.
“That gentleman has volunteered on many campaigns. That particular gentleman has spent more time in prison than he spent out, but he is a good man and he’s the individuals I’m fighting for in the city of Springfield. We’re running an election that is inclusive,” Hurst explained.”
A preponderance of democrat votes are quod pro quo whether realization by the voter is there or not. The LBJ impedances are the whole nations fault for allowing to get so out of hand.
Paying for votes with “walking around money” is as old as the hills. It’s honest cheating with real people as opposed to fake mail in voters.
Rat Party hacks engaged in voter fraud? In Massachusetts? Nope...never happens!
Here’s a hint...it’s Massachusetts. Glad to be of help.
The major may be telling the truth. HE didn’t pay anyone, his organization did. And he may not have had to tell them to do it.
Springfield, Mass...I doubt the candidate is a Conservative America First Trump Supporter!! 🤓
If some jerk offered to pay for my vote, I’d take the money and vote for the other guy. Or write in Scrooge McDuck.
Hearst is the worst kind of race-baiter. He is a second generation jerk.
The original story at Mass Live includes statements from the cop on duty and other poll workers. They are stunning. The folks running this scheme are not very bright.
I was talking to my adult kids about it last night. These guys are “ghetto stupid.” They think they can get away with whatever they want. They also think they can count on the homeless addicts to pull this off without spilling the beans.
Here is the link to the original MassLive article.
Bingo. The idiot rank and file democrats do not understand that they no longer have a seat at the table. Whoever stole the election is running things and sure as the sunrise will not give anybody access except for the their cronies.
“We were able to ascertain from the video footage that many individuals who were dropped off the black Suburban and black Expedition entered city hall, voted and left in the same aforementioned vehicles. At one point in the footage, two women and one man can be seen showing the man in the red/white/blue shirt something. The man then takes out what appears to be a large bundle of cash and peel off a bill and hand it to each person.”
But without audio, does it really tell the true story?
Omar does it with the Somalis in her Minnesota district.
“If you were mayor, he’d vote for you.”
A Democrat of Color.
I used to go into the voting precinct and piss them off by telling them I was a republican (so I could get the republican ballots if it was a state race) and tell them to stand back so they would not get contaminated.
