In June’s GOP primary race between two south Brooklyn City Council candidates, it has been reported that at least two ballots submitted under the names of dead people were cast.
Per the New York Post, Ballots were submitted under the names of Juliet Windvan and Antoinette Garzaniti in the District 47 primary. That race is between Brooklyn Republican chairman Richie Barsamian and George Sarantopoulos. Windvan and Garzaniti died over a decade ago.
Another voter, William Allen, 87, said that he had received a "cure notice," which is a notification voters receive when their ballot contains an error such as a missing signature, despite not casting a ballot in the primary.
Garzaniti’s daughter, Linda Smith, told the outlet, "That is amazing. I find this unbelievable. Yes, we still got ballots for her. They were ripped up and thrown out. So I want to know, who is doing it?"
