Republicans sued Gov. Kathy Hochul for approving a new law Wednesday that allows New York voters to cast ballots by mail instead of in-person.
in Albany state Supreme Court and other plaintiffs include the Republican National Committee, the NYS Republican Party and Rep. Nicole Malliotakis among others — just moments after Hochul held a bill signing ceremony.
Previously, voting by mail — referred to as “absentee ballots” — was restricted to voters who have disabilities or were too ill to make it to the polls, or voters who were out of town and couldn’t vote in person. The lawsuit claims the Mail-Voting Law violates the New York State Constitution requiring voters to cast their ballots in any election in person at their designated polling places, unless they were unable to do so because they were absent from the city or county during the election period or they were unable to appear because of illness or physical disability.
The lawsuit was filed in Albany state Supreme Court and other plaintiffs include the Republican National Committee, the NYS Republican Party and Rep. Nicole Malliotakis.“These are the only exceptions to the requirements that qualified voters must vote in person,” the GOP suit says.
