A spokesperson with the State Board of Elections said local election groups are being "inundated" with calls and emails based on a bogus claim of voter fraud involving the permanent-ink pens in Arizona.

Anyone with questions about Sharpies is being asked to contact the State Board of Elections by emailing INFO@elections.ny.gov or by calling 518-474-953.
