Fact check: Did any other candidates receive zero votes in New York county?
1. Summary of the results
Based on the available analyses, no evidence was found of other candidates receiving zero votes in New York County. The sources focus exclusively on Kamala Harris receiving zero votes in several districts within Rockland County [1] [2] [3] [4].
One source provides a specific example showing that in a district where Harris received zero votes, Donald Trump received 552 votes and Kristen Gillibrand received 327 votes [3]. This demonstrates that other candidates did receive votes in the same districts where Harris was recorded with zero votes.
2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints
The original question lacks important geographical context. The analyses reveal that the zero-vote incidents occurred specifically in Rockland County districts, not New York County as asked [1] [2]. This is a crucial distinction as these are separate jurisdictions within New York State.
The sources provide two competing explanations for the voting patterns:
- Voting irregularities perspective: Some view Harris receiving zero votes while other Democratic candidates received significant votes as evidence of possible election manipulation [1]
- Bloc voting perspective: Others attribute these patterns to established "bloc voting" practices in certain communities, suggesting this is a normal voting behavior rather than irregularities [3]
Legal stakeholders pursuing the lawsuit would benefit from establishing voting irregularities, while election officials and the current administration would benefit from maintaining confidence in the election process integrity.
3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement
The original question contains a geographical inaccuracy by asking about "New York County" when the documented zero-vote incidents occurred in Rockland County [1] [2] [3] [4]. This misstatement could mislead readers about the actual location of the alleged voting irregularities.
Additionally, the question's framing assumes that zero-vote incidents for other candidates occurred, but none of the sources provide evidence supporting this assumption. The available data shows other candidates consistently received votes in the same districts where Harris received zero votes [3].
