Queens man forged absentee ballots in Democratic primary as part of voter fraud scheme: DA

A Queens man was arraigned Tuesday for allegedly requesting and submitting dozens of fraudulent absentee ballots ahead of the Democratic primary election in August 2022, the borough’s district attorney said.

Abdul Rahman, 32, of 257th Street in Floral Park, could serve up to seven years in prison after a monster 140-count indictment outlined how he pulled off the voter fraud plot in an attempt to disenfranchise 118 voters.

“Every vote has to count,” Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz said in a statement.

“Election integrity is the foundation of a viable, working democracy,” she continued.

“We will vigorously prosecute anyone who threatens in any way to undermine that integrity … The integrity of elections will be upheld in this borough.”

Prosecutors alleged that Richmond Hill resident Jordan Sandke went to his local polling place on Aug. 23, 2022, to vote in the Democratic primary.

But when he got there, poll workers said he couldn’t cast a ballot because he’d already requested an absentee.

When authorities looked into it, they found Sandke’s ballot application — which included his name, address and birthday — had been signed and dated Aug. 1.

And Rahman was listed as the person who would pick it up.

Of course, Sandke never requested, filled out or signed the application.

Also, he’d never met Rahman — and certainly never gave him the green light to pick up the ballot on his behalf.

As authorities continued to investigate, they found Rahman had gone to the Queens County Board of Elections to drop off 118 absentee ballot applications on Aug. 8.

He’d also designated himself as the person who would pick them up.

Of those, 32 were approved, Katz said. Rahman allegedly grabbed them the next day.

When law enforcement interviewed the voter fraud victims, they found that none of them

What’s so particularly pernicious about election fraud is that the election results stand regardless of the conviction.

That’s why front-end enforcement is so critical.

Muslims are making an orchestrated effort to bring down the USA. From phony ballots to political riots all over the Country they are organizing impressionable young people to riot and protest the American way of life. Already, Europe is falling apart due to Muslim political activities.

Vote fraud in any form should be a death penalty offense. It’s a direct attack on the entire body politic.

And I don’t care who does it or why.

Hang them by the neck until they’re dead.

People who talk about the danger of voter fraud seem to be indicted more often than the people who commit voter fraud.

Always the dems. Rule should be that if you commit voter fraud we shoot you. (during j6 the dems said to shoot “the insurrectionists”-see how this type of thinking can get ugly fast)?

“Other than, literally, everywhere we’ve looked... there was no voter fraud...” /Dems.

I hate this. We aren’t just headed for a slippery slope... we’re on it and picking up speed.

The sudden stop at the bottom will be horrifying on a level this planet has never seen.

32 ballots? This is small scale stuff.

Democrats repeatedly assert there is no evidence for large scale fraud. And there isn’t.

There are a huge number of small scale frauds, which our systems are intentionally designed to be difficult to detect.

The Dem leadership isn’t engaging in large scale fraud, they’re simply making sure their rank and file have myriad opportunities to engage in small scale fraud.

If it wasn’t for fraud there wouldn’t be a democrat party.

Rookie mistake.

You are only supposed to crank up the democrat voting fraud machine in general elections against Republicans, when the media will give you cover. You don’t ever do it in primaries against other democrats because it ends up getting reported and hurts the deniability that voting fraud exists when the general election comes around.

Obviously, he submitted fraudulent ballots for the wrong Rat candidate. So, he was prosecute. If he had submitted fraudulent ballots for the right Rat candidate, no one would care. In fact, he would be well rewarded, and protected by the powerful in government.

Democrats do it to each other all the time to keep out newbies.

Saw that when I was an election judge in Illinois during the Democratic Primary counts.

Voting-by-Mail is how the communists took over in 2008. Now they have imported and registered millions of military aged foreigners into the country. Guess what happens next?

The election results will always stand if they’re D.

Interesting name he has. Not PC but asking what his status might be and what was he promised to do the deed? Even if he’s low hanging fruit, he’ll only be slapped on the wrist.
