Our correspondent reports: “No line outside, short waits for most districts at ps 282 on 6th ave. 3 pm.” There was a little problem, however, that we have heard over and over and over today about our correspondent’s name not being found in vote registration books, of surly poll workers and of having to fill out paper ballot that many people believe will never be counted. This seems to be an horrendously widespread problem in Brooklyn and all of NYC today. Such incompetence, whether deliberate or due to run-of-the-mill deadwood bureaucratic ineptitude could lead to the disenfranchisement of tens of thousands of New Yorkers today. We cringe thinking about place where voter rolls are kept a mess in order to deliberately deny what we’ll call–targeted demographic groups–of their right to vote by simply not being to find their names. Mindboggling.
