The New York City Board of Elections (BOE) Reported that 845 Queens Residents Voted in the Primary of the Tiny Serve America Movement (SAM) Party Tuesday. There’s One glaring Problem: Just 106 New York Residents in All of New York City are Enrolled in the Obscure Party, according Election Records and only 21 SAM Members are Enrolled in Queens.

That has one SAM Member alleging that Inexcusable Irregularities caused by Poll Workers’ Unpreparedness and Incompetence corrupted Democracy by Improperly allowing Hundreds of Bewildered Democrats to Mistakenly Vote in the SAM Primary. “It’s crazy. There’s no way 800 SAM members voted in Queens,” SAM Party Activist, Frank Morano, said Wednesday.

On the BOE website Reporting Unofficial Results Reported that 845 People Voted in SAM’s Queens State Committee Primary for the 11th Congressional District. The Results show that Candidate Dan Peterson received 563 Votes, followed by John Scandalios with 272 Votes. Ten Voters wrote in the Names of Candidates Not on the Ballot.

“I’m absolutely dismayed at the irregularities in yesterday’s election. In Queens and Manhattan, there appears to have been more votes cast than there were eligible voters. It appears likely that Democratic voters in those two boroughs were given SAM Party ballots by accident. Not only, does this make it impossible to know the true winners of the SAM contests, but it deprives the Democratic voters of a meaningful voice in the contests they were meant to vote in.” Morano said.

With the Elections Results Riddled with Irregularities, Morano said New Elections should be Held for the SAM Primaries. “In the long run though, I think this is one more reason that we need non-partisan rather than bi-partisan administration of our elections. Clearly, the current system hasn’t served New Yorkers well and is in dire need of reform,” he said.
