/26% of NYC’s vote-by-mail ballots invalidated.
The city BOE received 403,213 mail-in ballots for the June 23 Democratic presidential primary.
But the certified results released Wednesday revealed that only 318,995 mail-in ballots were counted.
That’s means 84,208 ballots were not counted or invalidated — 26 percent of the total.
One out of four mail-in ballots were disqualified for arriving late, lacking a postmark or failing to include a voter’s signature, or other defects. The Post reported Tuesday that roughly 30,000 mail-in ballots were invalidated in Brooklyn alone.
Similar stories are coming in from around the country, including Connecticut.

There is a possible solution to the problem, however, and the Bee’s on it:
