He kicked their ass to the ballot box!
One registered Democrat filed a furious complaint letter with the state’s Board of Elections after his party tried to shame him into voting this Tuesday with an intimidating letter.
“I am incensed. How DARE the NYS Democratic Committee send me such a letter. It is none of their business whether I vote or not, or why I may choose not to vote,” wrote Tom Gris of Brooklyn.
“This use of intimidation and shame tactics to spur votership has to stop. In fact, I may choose to not vote this November 4th just because of this letter.”
The Post revealed Thursday that the New York State Democratic Committee was bullying its members with the mailing to more than 1 million registered Dems who failed to vote in previous midterms.
“Who you vote for is your secret. But whether or not you vote is public record,” reads the Democrats’ letter.
The committee defended its controversial move.
“This flier is part of the nationwide Democratic response to traditional Republican voter-suppression efforts, because Democrats believe our democracy works better when more people vote, not less,” said spokesman Peter Kauffmann.
