Other McCarthy supporters received calls from employees of State Sen. Marc C. Panepinto, the Buffalo Democrat who pleaded guilty to
misdemeanor election fraud in 2001.
While calling for the Senator to «come clean,» Erie County Republican Committee Chairman Nick Langworthy reminded the public of Panepinto's 2001
misdemeanor election fraud conviction for collecting false signatures on nominating petitions.
For Panepinto, the ill will is connected to a negative ad highlighting
his misdemeanor election fraud conviction 13 years ago.
