No Republican ballots available at Bronx polling site
|
 | Why bother? It’s not as though anyone will dare want one. |
[NYPOST] A Bronx election site didn’t have Republican ballots for New York’s primary race for hours Tuesday morning as thousands headed to the polls to cast their vote for governor, The Post has learned.
One voter, Ed Gavin, 62, arrived at the polling site in Spuyten Duyvil around 8:15 a.m. to cast his vote for GOP gubernatorial candidate Rob Astorino but after checking in with a poll worker, he was handed a Democrat ballot instead, he said.
"My party never came up, my political preferences were never discussed ... I opened the sleeve and I saw the names of Tom Suozzi, Kathy Hochul and Jumaane Williams. These were all Democrats for governor," Gavin, a retired Department of Correction assistant deputy warden, told The Post.
"I flipped it over because I thought maybe the Republicans were on the back but there were no Republicans."
Gavin was incredulous and went back to the poll worker to inform them he’d been given the wrong ballot.
"They told me ’we don’t have any Republican ballots,’" Gavin recalled.
"I said to the gentleman, ’that is very concerning.’"
The Post later visited the polling site and confirmed with a worker that Republican ballots were unavailable to voters earlier in the morning.
"We couldn’t find the ballots earlier but we have them now," the worker said.
"This is the most important gubernatorial election of my lifetime because crime is on the ballot, bail reform is on the ballot, criminal justice is on the ballot," said Gavin.
"[Former Gov. Andrew] Cuomo essentially ruined this state ... with the state of the city right now, we need a Republican in power."
