TROY — Agents with the FBI, which is continuing to investigate alleged absentee ballot fraud in Rensselaer County, on Thursday seized the mobile phones of county Operations Director Richard W. Crist and Jim Gordon, the county's director of purchasing and a political ally of county Executive Steve McLaughlin.

The phone seizures took place at the county office complex in Troy, according to two people briefed on the matter. It happened the same day that McLaughlin appeared in Rensselaer County Court for a pre-trial conference in his unrelated criminal case involving the alleged theft and misuse of campaign funds.

William J. Dreyer, Crist's attorney, declined to comment. Gordon could not be reached for comment. Mobile numbers for Crist and Gordon were turned off on Thursday afternoon.

The Times Union reported in November and December that absentee ballots handled by Crist and Gordon were being examined by State Police and FBI agents in what are apparently separate but coordinated investigations. The probes are examining allegations of fraud stretching back several years.
