arrow Two different names (redacted) and addresses on the outer and inner envelopes for this absentee ballot received in Brooklyn Gothamist tipster
The New York City Department of Investigation found no evidence of an intentional printer error in an incident that led to thousands of faulty absentee ballot packages being mailed out to voters in Brooklyn ahead of the presidential election last November.
The problem emerged in September 2020 when voters in Brooklyn began reporting to Gothamist/WNYC and others that they received an absentee ballot package addressed to them, but containing an inner “oath envelope” which required their signature that contained a different voter’s name and address.
