Wrong names, wrong addresses, wrong voter IDs. 'I don't understand why something of this level importance wasn't taken so super seriously and errors weren't double checked.'

Absentee ballots in New York are verified by comparing the signature on the ballot envelope, or"oath envelope," with the signature the city's board of elections has on file, according to the instructions voters received. So if a person signed another voter's ballot, those signatures would not match and could be voided.

However, Gerstein said that while she and her husband are comfortable going to a polling place early, others who are at a high risk for complications due to COVID-19 may not be, even if they received the wrong ballot envelope.In a, the city's board of elections encouraged those who received the wrong envelope to send them a direct message on Twitter, email or call.

David Schleifer, who also hadn't heard back on what to do as of Tuesday, said he was worried about how many people may not even notice the incorrect name and address.

Because this is exactly what Trump wants, that’s why he put someone with no experience to head that office. He says he is worried about voter fraud when in fact he knows that it will be his savior, this is a well thought out plan.. wake up people

franklincflint Hmm ,... vaguely interesting

ChuckDeVore Was this across all parties? Or were only voters from a specific party affected? Is it one zip code? Or last names that end in 'A'? I haven't seen any data.

Dems: we need to know who they were voting for before we act concerned

Make America General Again.

Do not take this information for granted. Please go vote, no matter what the polls say!

Well, he told ya!

Done on purpose to rig the election in favor of Republicans

Surprise Surprise

I was told over and over this could never truly happen. I want a refund , CNN, MSNBC, abc, NBCNews, nytimes, and washingtonpost.

Geez, it's almost as though someone is intentionally trying to sabotage it. Kind of like a prosecutor who's been given approval to proceed to attain evidence he's been fighting for and then suddenly decides he'll wait.

Time to freak out realDonaldTrump

Kinda what Trump has been warning about all along, isn’t it?

trouseredapes someone could have hacked into the system to create chaos and mayhem.

Trump told us this is and would happen

Yup, and a certain group says voter fraud with mail in ballots is impossible! Bullcrap!

But mail in voting is super safe, right? 😂🤣

Almost 2 million change of address requests were not done at USPS...not sure if that has any impact on this story.

Could Trump be right?

Looks like Trump was right....Media was wrong....shocking I know

ChuckDeVore Willful incomitance will support their narrative. They now have ANOTHER issue to demagogue (like 2000) and lots of gnashing of teeth and cash will fly around. Nothing will be solved in the long run.

Maybe some sabotage by bad actors is taking place with mail-in votes. Something to consider since Trump makes this claim.

Good Evening sir please I need your help, from The goodness of your heart can you be generous to us and help me and my family to have a better food to manage for at least a month please, we will appreciate whatever you help with.

it's great ! even the dead can vote! MOUAHAHA ! Viva America 😂

Trump's got to be behind this.

Because fraud was the plan all along.

The electors will check them and make sure the votes are counted fairly. Because that's what they get paid to do.

A ploy by Trump and his base.

Is there someone on the trump team creating these mistakes on purpose...Just a thought

Giant cluster fuck.

It’s only our democratic process and the backbone of our nation whatevs

Republicans trying to steal the election
