Giuliani, the former mayor of New York City, voted in Manhattan by a statement of a statement, also known as a preliminary ballot, after his name did not appear on the voter list when he turned up to vote.
According to records obtained by CNN’s KFile, Giuliani’s registration was moved to his home in Long Island in August and his registration was cleared in September in New York. Giuliani told CNN he did not know why his registration was moved to his home in Long Island in August and denied that he changed his registration at all.
Giuliani swore in an affidavit that he was registered to vote in the Manhattan district and cast his vote there. A New York election council official told CNN that the vote would count, citing a provision in the state’s election law.
“To give you another example, we have 17,000 preliminary votes in Pittsburgh. Do you know what a preliminary vote is? A preliminary vote usually takes place [sic] this way, and about 15 of the 17,000 happened this way: you walk in and you say, ‘I’m here to vote today.’ “Oh, Mr Giuliani, you have already voted.” ‘I have? I can not remember that I voted. ” Oh, yes. Yes. You have made an absent ballot. “No, I have not.” “Yes you have.” “No, I have not.” “Yes, you have,” Giuliani said.
Giuliani continues: “Why did it happen 15,000 times that people in Pittsburgh walked in to vote and according to the Democratic election machine already voted? Did they forget? That many people with bad memories in Pittsburgh? Or is the following correct, that, as witnesses will testify, they were instructed by the Democratic bosses when they had a ballot paper in which no one was registered, just give it to someone, just give it to Rudy Giuliani.Maybe Rudy Giuliani will not show up to vote “And if he does show up to vote, we’ll give him a preliminary vote.”
In a statement to CNN, Giuliani claims he never registered to vote elsewhere, saying his case is another example of irregularities in voters, if not fraud, by the New York State Board of Elections.
“I’ve never been registered anywhere else. I voted in NY County for 28 years and did not move. [sic].I was there American lawyer and mayor. It was one of the many irregularities in the NY States, if not voter fraud. The signature on the registration in Suffolk County is clearly a fraud, ‘Giuliani said in a text message.
CNN contacted the BOE for New York several times for comment, but received no response.
CNN obtained copies of Giuliani’s voter file through open records to the New York State, New York City and Suffolk County election boards. The dossier also shows that Giuliani has voted by mail nine times in the past, dating back to 2002.
The records initially indicated that Giuliani did not vote in the 2020 election, but a further search found that Giuliani voted in Manhattan on Halloween.
Because Giuliani’s name did not appear on the New York City electoral roll when he arrived in Manhattan early, he made a statement that he was registered to vote in the district where he voted. CNN has obtained a copy of Giuliani’s signed affidavit swearing he is registered to vote in New York.
Jerry Goldfeder, a prominent New York City election and campaign finance lawyer who previously worked for Cuomo when the governor was attorney general in New York, told CNN that the universal transfer of registration is “elastic” and that it gives voters who own several homes across the country. the state a choice from which he must vote.
“If a voter has more than one bona fide residence, he or she can choose from which one to register and to vote. And the law is sufficiently elastic to enable the voter to move back and forth from residence. – but of course they can not vote more than once in an election, ‘Goldfeder said in an email.
