Censure For Voting At Wrong Polling Site

An attorney convicted of a voting offense has been publicly censured by the New York Appellate Division for the Second Judicial Department

In September 15, 2009, the respondent voted at the polling site for Ward 4, Election District 6, which falls within County Legislative District 17 and Yonkers City Council District 2. However, the respondent’s home address was located outside Ward 4 and Election District 6.

The court found a sufficient nexus between the offense and the justice system to warrant a finding of an ethical violation. (Mike Frisch)
