Ontario County Investigating Fake Election Officials

SHARE NOW

Ontario County officials are investigating complaints from residents who reported being harassed at their homes by people who falsely claimed to be county election officials.

The state Board of Elections is warning that individuals in several counties have been impersonating county board of elections staff while making in-person visits to voter homes. State officials say those who pretend to be election officials could face charges of criminal impersonation.

The fake election officials have been accusing the voters of committing a crime, alleging they appear in New York databases of registered voters in more than one county.
