Tiffany Cabán’s campaign is targeting more than 100 affidavit ballots it says were wrongly invalidated by city Board of Elections officials, as the career public defender trailed Queens Borough president Melinda Katz by 16 votes in the Queens district attorney primary race ahead of an automatic recount this week.

The campaign said Monday that 114 ballots from Queens County Democratic voters had been discarded because they did not state the voter’s party affiliation. According to the campaign, poll workers are required under New York state law to ensure that voters include party affiliation on affidavit ballots, and failure to restore legitimate ballots would amount to voter disenfranchisement.
