Voter fraud is endless, insidious and systemic
Voters across Brooklyn are reporting widespread issues with mislabeled absentee ballots — a problem the city Board of Elections has blamed on an outside vendor.
In numerous cases shared with The Post, residents across the borough received ballot return envelopes bearing the wrong name and address, sparking confusion over how to fix the error five weeks ahead of the election.
“It’s a major problem. This is not stoking confidence in the election system,” said Brooklyn Heights resident Jiong Wang, who received a return envelope for his ballot with the name and address of a voter who lives a half-mile away.
Meanwhile, Wang’s wife, Jill Wiehoff, received a ballot return envelope with her husband’s name on it.
The same absentee ballot mislabeling issue was experienced by a Downtown Brooklyn voter whose return envelope bore the name of a resident living two blocks away.
Because of the snafu, the voter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said he now plans to vote in person.
