The NYC Board of Elections Just Made It Easier for People with a History of Domestic Violence to Hurt, Maim or Kill

 
Women with Orders of Protection or in Hiding to Keep
Their Children Safe Should Be Extremely Concerned!

From The G-Man strongly opposes the New York City Board of Elections (BOE) decision to publish the names, addresses and party affiliations of voters! 

If Board of Elections officials are going to continue doing this and cite that it's already part of the public record as a defense, then.....

1. People should have a right to force the BOE to redact their addresses. Period, end of story!

2. Safeguards should be put in place by the BOE to prevent domestic abusers, gang members with a score to settle, pedophiles, stalkers or rapists from freely accessing the address information. Each of the aforementioned may have had difficulty locating their intended target, but that will no longer be the case. Someone could end up hurt, maimed or worse. Given the increasing number of violent acts occurring in New York City and across the country, the chances that someone will be victimized as a result of the BOE decision are high.

From The G-Man is urging Mayor Bill de Blasio, city officials and the BOE to convene a special meeting to address this issue. You owe it to every New York City resident that has been victimized and managed to escape their abuser.
