locally. New York has a few laws we need to pass. You may not believe it, but Trump, backed by Republicans at state and local levels, are planning unseemly shit to deprive people of their vote. One NY law would prevent any ol’ dipshit from challenging votes, like happened in 2024 at Stony Brook University. Reportedly, that prevented a lot of students from voting. Not everything is a CT.
