NYC Dept. of Investigations Reveals Ease of Voting in the Name of Ineligible Voters

Press release: “DOI’s operations also revealed that there are names of ineligible voters (e.g. felons and people no longer City residents), and deceased voters, on the BOE voter rolls, some for periods of up to four years. Accordingly, DOI investigators posing as a number of those ineligible or deceased individuals were permitted to vote in 61 cases, with no challenge or question by BOE poll workers. Investigators were turned away in 2 other cases. No votes were cast for any actual candidate or on any proposal during the course of the DOI operation. Investigators were not questioned by BOE poll workers, even when undercover investigators said they no longer resided in the City, or when there were obvious disparities between the ages of the investigators, some in their 20s and 30s, and the ineligible individuals in the voter rolls, some who would have been in their 80s and 90s.”

Coverage from NY Daily News, NY Post, John Fund.  So far I don’t see any NYT coverage.

There is no evidence any criminals engaged in any real world attempt to commit such fraud on a scale large enough to affect an election, in NYC or any other place of which I am aware, at least since the 1980s.
