The menacing letter sent out to a million New York Democrats to bully them into voting was written by a top campaign strategist who was appointed by Gov. Cuomo himself, sources told The Post.

The revelation comes as a circular firing squad of finger-pointing has erupted over who is responsible for the letter, which was sent out last week by the New York State Democratic Committee and caused panic in the Cuomo camp, sources said.

The letter warned voters that the party would be keeping tabs on who goes to the polls on Tuesday.

Who you vote for is your secret. But whether or not you vote is public record, the letter says.

We will be reviewing voting records ... to determine whether you joined your neighbors who voted in 2014.

It ends with the ominous line: If you do not vote this year, we will be interested to hear why not.

Neal Kwatra, appointed by Cuomo to be the state Democratic Partys chief campaign strategist, was identified by two key Democratic insiders as the author of the mailer.

It was the brainchild of Neal Kwatra, said one of the insiders. He wrote the letter and sent it out, and now other Cuomo people are trying to distance themselves from it.

The intimidating letter has caused friction inside the Democratic campaign just days before Cuomo faces off against Republican Rob Astorino at the polls.

Theres infighting going on, a definite circular firing squad over the mailer and a sense of panic over it in Cuomos camp right now, the insider continued.
