As if there’s a shortage of registered Democrats in New York City, some Democratic candidates seem to have the urge to collect as many signatures possible, even if that means collecting it illegally.

This photo, attached below, was taken by Brooklyn Young Republicans’ President Diana Sepulveda from the bulletin board in the lobby of her building in Gravesend, Brooklyn.

Affixed to it is a Democratic Designating Petition for Mayoral candidate John Liu, Brooklyn Borough President candidate Eric Adams and City Council candidate Mark Treyger.

The note, as revealed by Republican operatives on the Brooklyn GOP Radio blog, is asking “Registered Democrats” to sign the petition in support of city council candidate Treyger.

According to Election Law, enrolled party members are supposed to witness the signature of other enrolled party members. In other words, any signatures submitted from these petitions, or others like these, would be done so fraudulently.

A spokesman for the Treyger campaign told YWN that there’s no further evidence, other than the Republican bloggers, that the note was placed on the bulletin board. The spokesperson noted that Mr. Treyger’s club is one of the most efficient progressive clubs in NYC, and that all of the volunteers and operatives are well trained to follow the petition collecting according to the law.

Mark Treyger, an aide to Assemblyman Bill Colton (D–Bensonhurst), is running as a Democrat in the 47th Council district to replace the term-limited Domenic Recchia (D–Coney Island), whose district encompasses the People’s Playground, Gravesend, Sea Gate, and parts of Bath Beach.
