Grimy Times has learned that election complaints will be taken by US Attorneys in New York.
US Attorneys Robert L. Capers and Preet Bharara announced today 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 US Attorneys stated that their Offices will be available to receive complaints at the following numbers on Tuesday, November 8, 2016:
(718) 254-6323 for Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, Nassau and Suffolk counties
(646) 369-4739 for Manhattan, Bronx, Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan and Westchester counties
Complaints of possible violations of federal election laws may also be made directly to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) at (212) 384-1000.
The US Attorneys noted that federal law protects against crimes such as intimidating or bribing voters, buying and selling votes, impersonating voters, altering vote tallies, stuffing ballot boxes, and marking ballots for voters against their wishes or without their input. It also contains special protections for the rights of voters and provides that they can vote free from acts that intimidate or harass them.
Assistant US 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, while Assistant US 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.
