The Board of Elections has requested a criminal investigation due to absentee ballots being cast in names of deceased individuals. This concerns two fraudulent votes identified in the District 47 primary council race, alongside 22 additional ballots labeled as potentially fraudulent. The primary contest, with a very close margin of only 32 votes separating the candidates, has raised serious concerns about election integrity. Following an internal investigation, staff members from the Brooklyn Board of Elections have been reassigned as the inquiry proceeds.
The Board of Elections requested an investigation into voter fraud as absentee ballots were cast on behalf of deceased individuals in a close primary council race.
A total of two absentee ballots were identified to be fraudulent, alongside an additional 22 ballots deemed as potentially fraudulent, leading to invalidation.
The narrow margin between candidates Richie Barsamian and George Sarantopoulos means the outcome could hinge on just a few votes, raising concerns about election integrity.
Multiple workers from the Brooklyn Board of Elections related to the investigation were reassigned, indicating the seriousness of the inquiry into possible irregularities.
