Several NYC Election Sites Had ‘No Republican Ballots’ During Last Week’s Primary
Tyler Durden with Zerohedge reports:
Last week’s primary voting in New York City was a complete debacle – as the city’s Board of Elections botched everything from polling locations opening late because of ‘lost keys,’ to missing equipment, to unannounced relocations of voting sites, to a lack of Republican ballots across at least three Big Apple election sites.
“We showed up to the poll site in Brooklyn, we showed up at 5 a.m. … and there was no key,” Spencer Mestel, a freelance writer, told the New York Post on Tuesday afternoon, adding that he saw poll workers turn away an elderly woman with a walker because they couldn’t get in.
“The police officer on site didn’t have a key, the Board of Elections didn’t give [the site coordinator] a key, I watched her call the Board of Election multiple times … [but] no one helped us,” added the journalist who has served as a NYC election worker for the past decade.
The building was eventually unlocked at 7:30 a.m. by the building’s superintendent – more than 90 minutes after voters should have been able to start casting ballots.
Meanwhile, the Board of Elections failed to deliver equipment to one south Brooklyn location.
