The investigation began after NYPD was called on Thursday afternoon to an early voting site on Hollywood Avenue in the Throggs Neck section on complaint about voter fraud.

Two men in their 30's were in line to vote. An election employee noticed that they had voted earlier in the week

When the employee confronted the men, they fled the polling site into vehicles and drove off

Anyone who votes more than once in an election, or even attempts to, can be charged with a felony.
