Brooklyn District Attorney Investigates Allegations of Democrat Voter Fraud
Brooklyn Democrats added peoples’ names to petitions they didn’t sign and demanded bribes, according to news reports.
Now Brooklyn’s District Attorney, Eric Gonzalez, plans to investigate.
“This matter is under investigation,” his office’s spokesman Oren Yaniv told The Epoch Times. He declined further comment.
A news report by The City, a local paper, announced that five Brooklyn citizens said their names were on petitions asking to remove candidates for Democrat Party positions from June’s primary ballot.
But they never signed them, they added.
Brooklyn woman, Charlene Davis, said when she tried to get a job as a poll worker, people told her she had to get voter signatures for petitions supporting Democrat Party executives.
Davis told The City the district attorney’s office asked if the petitions supported Democrat Party leaders Dionne Brown-Jordan and Michael Silverman. Davis told them Brown-Jordan prevented her from getting poll work.
The Epoch Times attempted to contact Brown-Jordan via Twitter but by deadline, had not heard back from her. The Epoch Times was unable to locate Silverman for comment.
Brown-Jordan has not been accused of any crimes and she has previously denied the allegations.
However, the Board of Elections reportedly confirmed she had asked for Davis to be listed on the poll workers roster as “temporarily inactive.”
Democrat Anthony Jones, the leader of Brownsville’s Community 1st Democratic Club, told The City last April that the fake signatures were a “setup.”
“What we do know is that we feel like we were set up,” Jones said in April.
He confirmed the forged signatures came from the Democratic Club but said he didn’t know who did it and didn’t know about it when it happened.
The Epoch Times emailed a member of the Liberty 1st Democratic Club but did not receive a reply.
It’s not the first time Brooklyn has struggled to ensure election integrity. In 2020, Brooklyn voters received mislabeled absentee ballots, according to the New York Post.
In 2021, the New York Post discovered at least two Brooklyn dead people voted Democrat in the 2020 election.
According to PBS, the city purged 126,000 registered Democrats from its rolls.
Voter fraud isn’t just a Brooklyn problem, research by The Heritage Foundation suggests.
The conservative think tank found 1,412 instances of voter fraud nationwide, with 1,219 of these cases resulting in criminal convictions. But there could be many more cases escaping notice, The Heritage Foundation added.
“While we are not making any definitive claims about the extent of election fraud in our country, we are confident in saying that there are far too many vulnerabilities in our current system.
“The important thing is that people must have trust in the outcome, which is difficult to do, in large part, because of the vulnerabilities that currently exist,” The Heritage Foundation’s report reads.
