On the recordMarch 2, 2021
We are facing a growing public mistrust of our electoral process. In my district alone, over 800 ballots in Nassau County were sent out in the wrong names and wrong addresses. In the school board election this year, I received three ballots at my house, one for me and two for the people who moved out 10 years ago. On election day, all over my district, in Ronkonkoma, Seaford, and Babylon, machines went down. Voters had to hand in their ballots, and then they were misplaced. I think all of us can agree that legislative fixes are needed. But today, we are debating a bill, a partisan bill, whose sole aim is to secure a Democratic majority. This bill doubles down on problems that we saw during the 2020 election. Expanding mail-in voting--part of the problem. Legalizing ballot harvesting--part of the problem. Eliminating State ID--now you are just asking for a problem. Funding elections--I can think of a million things that can be done before we fund elections.
