Rahman is accused of submitting 118 falsified absentee ballot applications. The scheme \u2062was uncovered when a\u2063 voter discovered that an absentee ballot had already been requested in his name.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Queens District Attorney&#8217;s \u2062office, Rahman is facing charges of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/breaking-grand-jury-makes-decision-on-trump-indictment-for-jan-6\/\" title=\"Breaking: Grand Jury reaches decision on Trump's Jan. 6 indictment.\">falsifying business \u200drecords<\/a>, criminal possession of a forged instrument, and other crimes. The investigation revealed that Rahman had filled out and signed absentee ballot applications in the names of unsuspecting voters, with himself listed as the authorized person to pick \u2064up and deliver the ballots.<\/p>\n<p>New \u200cYork law stipulates that only\u200d the designated person on a voter&#8217;s \u2063ballot can handle the ballot. Interviews with the victims confirmed that they had not\u2063 submitted any applications or authorized Rahman to pick up\u200b their \u2062ballots.<\/p>\n<p>Rahman dropped off a total of 118 applications at \u200dthe Queens County Board of Elections office, of which 32 \u200cwere approved. \u200bHe retrieved the ballots\u200d the following day. The \u2064authorities emphasize the importance of election integrity and \u200dvow to \u2062prosecute \u200banyone\u2063 who threatens it.<\/p>\n<p>Rahman&#8217;s arraignment is scheduled for January 30, \u20622024, \u200dand if found \u200bguilty, he could face up to seven years in prison.<\/p>\n<p>This indictment exposes the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/if-alex-berenson-writes-about-the-baby-bust-will-people-start-taking-it-seriously\/\" title=\"Will Alex Berenson's Baby Bust Writing Gain Credibility?\">false narrative perpetuated<\/a> by the media that U.S. elections are immune to\u2063 irregularities.\u200c Many \u2062news outlets have ignored stories of voter fraud, further undermining the public&#8217;s trust in the electoral process.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<hr>\n<p>Shawn Fleetwood is a \u200bstaff \u2064writer for The Federalist and\u200c a graduate of the University of Mary Washington.
