State officials are reviewing documents from South Blooming Grove’s October election and say several key records are still missing.
Sen. James Skoufis tells News 12 his Senate Investigations Committee received petitions, legal notices and photos from the village, but not enough to show that residents were properly notified about the vote or how it was conducted.
“We did receive a trove of documents,” Skoufis said. “We’ve been reviewing them, but there are some questions and documents that they did not respond to.”
Skoufis says the missing materials include proof of how the village communicated the election to residents, such as emails, mailed notices, text alerts or social media posts, and any documentation explaining why the election date was moved from March to October.
