A non-citizen green card-holder in Manhattan may have been illegally voting in city elections for the past 13 years — possibly one of “thousands” of similarly bogus voters, a city Board of Elections whistleblower told The Post.
Abdul Rahman Kargbo, 63, first registered to vote in November 2005. according to records from the New York City Board of Elections. He enrolled in the Democratic Party and voted in nine general and primary elections between 2008 and 2021, the records show.
Federal law prohibits non-citizens from voting. “Non-citizens, including permanent legal residents, cannot vote in federal, state, and most local elections,” according to USA.gov, an official government web portal.
A copy of Kargbo’s original voter registration form obtained by The Post shows he clearly and honestly marked that he was not a US citizen, yet the clueless agency registered him anyway.
“Just incompetence,” said the city Board of Elections staffer who pulled Kargbo’s voter files for The Post, adding that he’s “seen it before.” Reps for the city Board of Elections told The Post that responsibility for verifying voter information fell to the state Board of Elections.
But the state Board of Elections shrugged off the mistake, instead blaming the lack of vetting laws.
“There were no procedures in state Election Law in 2005 to verify citizenship and that remains true today. We have no way to verify citizenship status. There is no publicly accessible database from the federal government for states to verify the citizenship of voters,” said John Conklin, a spokesman for the state Board of Elections.

I’m sure the ones that looked the other way and the guy himself will be facing swift justice.. Any day now.
I had to show my SS card when I first registered in Florida long ago, and when the federal REAL ID law went into effect, I had to prove my citizenship (born in US) with several documents. Your county didn’t require that of you?
There’s a story about a hard working Irish immigrant who came to the attention of the local party boss, who pushed him to alderman, then state rep, then state senator, and then US rep, over many years.
One day the Irishman, now a US rep, went to the party boss and asked if the party boss could do him a favor. “What is it?” said the party boss. I’ve made you an alderman, then a state rep, then a state senator, then a US rep, what more do you want?” “Just one more thing” the Irishman said. “I’d like you to sponsor me for citizenship.”
Deport him unless he coughs up the names of two others and the names of the Democrats who facilitated it.
When I first registered to vote in 1966 I was required to bring my birth certificate for proof of age and citizenship, HS diploma to prove literacy and DL for proof of address.
This was in NYC
Put them in JAIL.
I registered in Saint John’s county. I do not recall taking my naturalization certificate to register. I always keep it in bank safe deposit vault. All I had to show was my driver’s license.
Florida was my 4th voter registration. Illinois was first. No one asked me to show naturalization certificate. That is an important document and I keep it in bank safe deposit vault. Next was CA, then WA and again no proof of citizenship was asked.
Anyone who speaks of ‘voter fraud’ will be visited by FBI thugs or at minimum put on a list of people to be investigated.
That’s surprise; I figured New York for about 100k illegal voters.

He should be convicted, jailed, and upon release, deported. Set a clear statement that illegal voting is a very bad idea.
I'd like to know that at a minimum we get retinal scans, fingerprints (I think they do that) and a DNA sample as a minimum along with family, country and any other verifiable info.

With a Social Security card, a Driver's License and proof of address - a utility bill - registration is a snap almost anywhere. Sigh.
