...........Nicole Torres, 43, from the Bronx, New York, was indicted on Aug. 27 on charges including extortion, conspiracy, wire fraud, mail fraud and identity theft, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York.
Accusations of Bribery, Records Falsification
Torres is the Republican District Leader– an elected position– in the Bronx, working for the New York Board of Elections (NYC-BOE). Prosecutors say she solicited payments for herself and a local organization called the Bronx Organization in exchange for paid positions as poll workers, according to the press release.
Torres is also accused of faking documents to make it appear that some poll workers worked during times and dates that they didn’t and allegedly split the extra paychecks among herself and others.
New York City has early voting policies that allow voters to vote in elections up to nine days before the election day, as well as the election day itself, the indictment details. This also allows poll workers to work ten days during the election cycle and make about $2,750 total for their time...............
During the duration of this alleged scheme, Torres is accused of personally receiving at least $36,000.
