Last year, 13,800 voters showed up to the wrong polling place in their county and their ballots were disqualified. 
Now, state lawmakers want to do so something to solve the problem known as "wrong church, wrong pew" voting when filling out an affidavit ballot. 
General election data gathered by the group VoteEarlyNY released on Monday found 13,800 ballots were disqualified after voters appeared at the wrong polling site. This translates to a heavy percentage of affidavit ballots being rejected: 32.4% in Erie County, 22.8% in Dutchess County and 21.2% in Ulster County, the group's research found.
