Who You Calling ‘Dastardly,’ Mr. Schumer? - WSJ Opinion
Mr. Schumer wants to impose no-excuses absentee voting on the whole country under some version of H.R.1, but he can’t even convince his constituents in blue New York. Last year’s ballot included a measure to loosen the state constitution’s absentee requirement. Not only did it fail, but it wasn’t close, 55% to 45%. Another measure that would have allowed same-day voter registration also failed, 56% to 44%.
It’s tiresome to keep flogging these facts, but important given the bizarre fixation on State election law changes that make voting more accessible than states like New York.
