A New York City Board of Elections official has been suspended amid reports that some voters were turned away from polling sites during the state's presidential primary, officials said Thursday.
Brooklyn Chief Clerk Diane Hasslet-Rudiano was suspended without pay, the board said in a news release.
She has been suspended pending an internal probe into "the administration of the voter rolls" in Brooklyn.
New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said his office launched an investigation on Wednesday after a state voter hotline received more than 700 complaints.
