Election Fraud Hotlines Set Up in NYC

Preet Bharara, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, and Robert L. Capers, the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, have announced that special telephone numbers have been set up to receive complaints of possible violations of federal election laws relating to the upcoming primary elections in New York City and other counties in their districts.

The United States Attorneys said that their Offices will be available to receive complaints at the following numbers on Tuesday, April 19, 2016:

(212) 637-0840 (For Manhattan, Bronx, Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan and Westchester counties)

(718) 254-6323 (For Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, Nassau and Suffolk counties)

In addition, complaints of possible violations of federal election laws may be made directly to the Federal Bureau of Investigation at (212) 384-1000.

It is unlawful under federal law to deny or abridge anyone’s right to vote because of race, color, or national origin. Federal laws also require local election authorities to make voting accessible to disabled and elderly voters. Voters who require assistance because of blindness, disability, or inability to read and write have the right to receive such assistance from a person of their own choosing. In counties with substantial numbers of non-English speaking voters, federal laws prohibit the denial or abridgement of a voter’s ability to participate in the election process in certain languages other than English (i.e., Spanish, Chinese, Korean).

Assistant United States Attorney David J. Kennedy is responsible for overseeing the handling of complaints of voting rights abuses and election fraud for the Southern District of New York. Assistant United States Attorney Catherine Mirabile is responsible for overseeing the handling of complaints of voting rights abuses and election fraud for the Eastern District of New York.
