The translator, Sang Soo Park, was expelled from the polling place for breaking the law by telling at least three voters to choose the Democratic slate, according to the observer, attorney Daniel Baek. Baek is a certified poll watcher appointed by the Dan Halloran campaign who was charged with overseeing nine polling places including PS 20… “He basically stated something to the effect of, ‘You are Korean and therefore you want to vote for Obama, and you know what? Go down the list for all Democrats,’” Baek said.
It seems “irrational” – and yet:
A case of election fraud occurred in Flushing when a Korean-American translator helping voters at PS 20 was caught directing them to vote for Democratic candidates. A volunteer poll watcher confirmed the incident.
