Voters threw him overboard – and he's (still) making waves.
The founder of the popular pirate booty cheese puff snack, which was packed in the mayor of Long Island Village in Longshot, claimed that the tally was equipped and shockingly compared his pancross to Anfrank's light-like shape.
Self-proclaimed “lost captain” Robert Erich caused the defeat of the sea cliffs on Wednesday in “voter suppression.”
“I was shocked today,” Ehrlich, 66, said in a text message to the post.
“The election was a book-watching SS to see the whole village on the sea cliffs transformed into Anne Frank,” followed by Ehrlich's long message.
Ehrlich has a history of denounceing anti-Semitic villages in Nassau County.
During the zoning conflict in 2004, he accused Seacliff officials of discriminating against him and his business because he was Jewish and lost the incident and had to pay $900,000 to the village.
Now he is threatening to “raid” a coffee shop at the Nassau County Police Department and arrest him after holding his “vote” on Tuesday. Ehrlich claims he won nearly 1,000 votes in his homemade vote, but still fewer than Villafane.
On Election Day, Erich posted that he denounced the village of “manufacturing” in hopes of this “official result.”
“They tried to give me a very low number so I couldn't even say I had 10% to try,” he told the post after the results were released.
Ehrlich declared he was the “winner” just 30 minutes after the votes were held on Tuesday, claiming the mayoral title for what he calls “inhabitants of the colony village.”
A 2009 state law allows residents to disband or reformulate their communities if they can collect signatures from 10% of towns.
On the day he attacked the village hall last week, Erich claimed there were 1,800 signatures, but he refused to make them public and claimed he was protecting the signatories for fear of retaliation from the town of 5,000.
“If they see my name and then I'm blacklisted again from getting another permission,” an anonymous Ehrlich voter posted on Election Day.
Ehrlich said he is strategizing how to move forward after the election.
He said he plans to begin issuing “executive orders” for sea cliffs in the coming weeks, including issuing permits for cleanup systems, outdoor seating and more.
He vowed to pay for lawsuits and fines for residents and businesses that issue these allowances, urging Gov. Kathy Hochul to come to Long Island and “set a record straight.”
However, Villafane said, “We will no longer tolerate any further attempts that undermine the governance of this village.”
“Efforts to disrupt or disrupt their work will be addressed through all appropriate and legitimate means,” she said.
In the last election, Villafane won by just 182 votes, but this year's small local elections saw a nearly six-fold increase in voter turnout.
Tim Wegner, a 29-year-old sea cliff resident, told the Post outside the polling station on Tuesday.
Residents like Wegner said that Ehrlich's antics made them feel that this year's vote weighed more than before years.
