That is the headline of a New York Post story. While I reported that DA Johnson should investigate the entire election in the 86th Assembly District the Post says that he has subpoenaed Board of Election records relating to people who submitted absentee ballots. The Post also says that investigators also visited the homes of some voters, some of whom are Dominican immigrants.
This political columnist who asked Bronx DA Johnson about the 86th A.D. election does not believe that the Bronx District Attorney's office has any jurisdiction over absentee ballots since they are mailed to voters. This would be Mail Fraud, which comes under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Attorney's office. The Bronx DA may not even have jurisdiction over the Board of Elections since it is a citywide agency. I also believe that Assemblyman Victor Pichardo is not under investigation, but it is his opponent Hector Ramirez who had some absentee ballots challenged.
