the dark side of politics

See the photograph of the inside of the polling booth? Notice something strange? Like five people who can't be voted for since where the lever should be is a plug. This happened in an area of the West Bronx and three of those people are in the other photographs.

Is this a case of fraud as their supporters' signs are suggesting or rather a mistake since in years past, there weren't this many candidates listed and the people preparing the booths didn't notice?

A potential scandal in the making - a big one if intentional fraud can be proven or a minor one if the Board of Elections (BOE) is once again remiss in their work.

But the bottom line is that voters couldn't vote for their choices and the candidates got screwed (literally with black plugs)
