NEW YORKERS: Affidavit Ballot, if you're denied voting! DO NOT LEAVE!

[leftcoastmountains]

Some New York voters have been reporting incorrect or unauthroized changes in their voter registration statuses.

On Election Day, IF YOU ARE DENIED FROM VOTING for ANY reason, request an AFFIDAVIT BALLOT from the poll worker.

By law, an affidavit ballot must be provided for voters who are denied from voting but believe themselves to be eligible.

DO NOT LEAVE the polls without submitting a ballot!

3. I'm not sure if you spotted this one

over on reddit. It was posted 2 days ago by a board of elections employee suggesting to seek a court order

snip….

If you seek a court order, you will be required to meet with the local State Supreme Court Judge on call, and the Board of Elections. Many of these judges are very liberal in their rulings, often side with the voter. You will then be issued a document that you can bring to the polling place that allows you to cast your ballot INTO THE MACHINE.

If you choose the option to vote by affidavit ballot, you will be directed to a station within the polling place dedicated to this process. You will then be required to fill out what is essentially a registration form. TAKE YOUR TIME FILLING THIS OUT. It will be scrutinized by Election commissioners of both parties after the election. Your registration and party enrollment will be checked, and voted on by each commissioner to determine if the envelope should be opened and ballot counted. Generally speaking, the Democratic Commissioners will be more liberal and vote to count your vote and the Republican Commissioners will likely vote to not count your vote (shocking, I know.) One no vote negates the ballot.

5. From what I've read

you may have the option of an affidavit or a court order. A board of elections employee made a post about it on reddit. I'm not sure it will apply in your case but it might be worth questioning them about it. Here is the link to the post.
