Official voting in the US presidential election began in broad daylight on Tuesday. Voting begins at 5 am local time (4 pm Bangladesh time) in the state of Vermont on Tuesday.
Although the official vote started today, more than 98 million people have cast their vote in advance. Which is 60 percent more than the early vote in the 2018 election. Approximately 6 million of the early votes came by mail. The number of votes received by mail this time is double that of the previous time.
Surprisingly, the New York City Board of Elections also received dead votes in these emails. The American media reported in the New York Post.
According to the New York City Board of Elections, Staten Island County resident Francis Rex received the vote. But Rex died in 2012. He was born in 1915. He is known for being a registered Democrat. Rex’s vote was mailed out on October 6. On October 6, the Electoral Board also registered the vote as valid.
Similarly, the New York City Board of Elections conducted another vote. The voter named Gertrude Nizare died on July 4, 2016. According to the Electoral Board records, Gertrude voted on October 9 and the vote was declared valid on October 25.
The electoral board has been shaken by the incident of voting for the dead. All information on these voters has been forwarded to the police and local authorities for investigation.
Mentioned, there have been cases of voting on behalf of deceased persons in the United States before. The authorities assure that this happened by mistake when they went to the voting table to sign the ballot boxes.
