New York Abandons Under Vote Notification
I wrote a few weeks ago about the Illinois under vote law and noted that the only other state to require this by statute was New York. I just received a call today from a Commissioner in one of the New York counties telling me that the New York State Board of Elections has passed an emergency rule rescinding their undervote notification requirement.
That leaves Illinois as the only state with this in their law. You can see the Notice of Emergency Adoption here, laying out their reasons. Interestingly, their argument cites the fact that we are the only state with this requirement in the law.
