Summary

A New York City Board of Elections worker was caught on hidden video footage saying he would process voter registration applications for non-citizens. The worker told an undercover reporter posing as a non-citizen that he needed to be a citizen to register, but also said he wouldn’t report anyone who submitted an application. The worker stated it’s not his job to report anyone, his job is to collect and submit the application. In New York, it is illegal for non-citizens to register to vote.

Once again, the discussion returns to a familiar question.

A New York City Board of Elections worker is caught on camera, saying one thing, but doing another. He warns the reporter of legal consequences, but also says he won’t report him. He claims it’s not his job to report anyone, but rather to collect and submit the application. The worker’s words and actions seem to contradict each other. The scene feels like a carefully choreographed dance, where everyone knows their role, but the rules are unclear.
