Hempstead school election results annulled by NY after ballots allegedly torn up, thrown in dumpster
The state has ordered a new election in the Hempstead School District after ballots were allegedly tampered with.
State Education Department Commissioner of Education Betty A. Rosa annulled the results of the open trustee position election results on Thursday. The district has 60 days to hold a new election.
Pictures of ballots torn up and thrown into a dumpster can be seen in a petition filed with the Education Department.
News 12 first reported on the fraud allegations last month, when the district requested the state to review the election results.
