District Attorney Thomas Zugibe said today that his office was investigating the matter after a referral from the state Board of Elections. The investigation stems from a 2005 primary election, during which an advertisement in Community Connections, a Monsey weekly newspaper, promised free ice cream makers to the first 2,000 Monsey residents to vote.State election law states that it’s a felony to entice voters with “money or other valuable consideration,” even if votes are not sought for a particular candidate.
