New York School Clerk Tore Up, Trashed Ballots to Help Preferred Candidate

The petition further alleges that when investigators returned four days later, the garbage can had been removed.

District officials claim custodian Owen Peters discarded the bag in an outdoor dumpster while a locksmith was replacing the office locks, said the outlet.

According to the filing, Peters later directed investigators to the bag, which they found sitting in approximately one foot of standing water inside the dumpster, The Post reported.

According to the district’s petition, investigators recovered torn cast ballots for both Pratt and his leading challenger, Gwendolyn Jackson, along with shredded early mail ballot applications containing voters’ names, addresses and signatures.

The filing also says investigators found unused ballots and election tally sheets mixed in with the discarded materials.

The petition further states that Jackson’s campaign coordinator, identified as Allah Supreme Mathematics, told investigators he delivered approximately 120 completed early mail ballots to the district clerk’s office on election night.

However, the investigation found that only 79 of those ballots were ultimately counted, with no explanation provided for the missing 33 ballots, according to the filing.
