Good news: NY legislature passes election law reform

[redbird]

I used to live in New York, and sent some letters and postcards last fall to help flip the state senate, and am very pleased by this package of reforms, which Governor Cuomo has promised to sign. It includes nine days of early voting, preregistration for 16- and 17-year-olds, and federal and state primaries on the same day. (That last should significantly increase turnout for state primary races.) Also preliminary approval for no-reason-needed absentee voting and Election Day voter registration, and they're considering automatic voter registration.

This isn't an action post, but if you know any New York high school students, you might mention this to them.
