Researchers from Princeton University and Stevens Institute of Technology say the New York City Board of Elections failed to protect the privacy of voters in the June 2021 primary, citing an alarming 378 instances where a voter could be matched to what is supposed to be a secret ballot. One of those voters was identified as Mayor Bill de Blasio’s son: Dante de Blasio, the only person to cast a ballot in the election district that includes Gracie Mansion.

The younger de Blasio said he was, “appalled by this violation of my privacy." adding, “My main concern is not that people will know who I voted for, but rather that the BOE has repeatedly shown complete incompetence and still hasn’t been reformed by the State."

These types of inconsistencies between what the city BOE says and what it does are likely to be among the concerns raised at a state Senate hearing on Tuesday focused on how to improve the voting experience across New York State. Representatives from the New York City and State Boards of Elections are expected to testify, along with other civil and voting rights groups including the Brennan Center for Justice which recently issued its own report about the structural problems with the city BOE.

Oh, I get it. This is a precursor to fighting voter ID. Nobody cares WHO you voted for.

Lol. This country is so partisan you know who voted for who.
Democrats voted blue.
Republicans voted red.
The end.
