If this happened, this is a federal crime. One may not pose as another and vote in a federal election. The Troy Record editorial argues that voter identification requirements would not have allowed this to happen:
“A Troy voter, Paul Worobey, went to the polling place this past Election Day and noticed someone signed his wife’s name but knew it wasn’t his wife’s signature because, in addition to it not being her handwriting, she didn’t vote on that Election Day or any other for that matter.”
Lets see if the FBI contacts Paul Worobey, or Troy election officials, to follow up on this report. Maybe they don’t know about it. Perhaps someone will call the FBI in Albany to report it at 518-465-7551. Or, perhaps someone will call the Election Crimes Branch in Washington D.C. at 202-514-1421 and report this, or ask if they already know about it.
Someone better also alert Tova Wang, let her know her report about the absence of voter fraud on November 2 might need to be updated also.
I’m wondering why it’s not standard practice to post lists of who voted on the Web, or in the post office on a wall. Then people could browse it and see if somebody voted using their names, or their dead neighbors are listed as voting. Also, wouldn’t it be easy to cross-match lists of those voting with lists of felons?
