New York — Tragic Voting Blunder Ends in DespairDavid Goldstein, a 65-year-old Jewish man from Brooklyn, took his own life Tuesday.
He discovered too late that he voted for Zohran Kwame Mamdani in the mayoral race.
Goldstein hated Mamdani’s stances on Israel and progressive taxes for years.
However, last week at a polling site in Midwood, he marked the wrong box.
After that, he logged into the New York City Board of Elections portal to confirm.
The error crushed him immediately.
Therefore, alone in his apartment, he ended it all with pills.
Meanwhile, officers from the NYPD’s 70th Precinct ruled it a clear suicide.
Friends nodded sadly; such regrets happen often in heated elections like this one.
For details on Mamdani’s win, see his Wikipedia page.
