Several Republican groups are suing the state of New York and Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) after she signed a measure expanding access to absentee voting.
“Kathy Hochul and extreme New York Democrats are trying to destroy what is left of election integrity in New York,” House GOP Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (N.Y.) said in a statement Wednesday. “As a New York voter, I am proud to lead this coalition in defending basic election integrity on behalf of all New Yorkers.”
On Wednesday, Hochul signed a package of bills designed to expand voting access across the Empire State, which allows registered voters to vote early using a mail-in ballot and same-day registration. The New York Early Mail Voter Act also intends to help the ballot request process from the Board of Elections and ballot tracking after it is sent in.
“The message is that people’s votes matter, people’s lives matter, and you don’t have to compromise to protect both,” Hochul said after signing the bills. “You can have the right to vote and continue on with life. So, you’re also fulfilling your duties as a citizen.”

Hey, give New York a break. They’re just trying to give dead people the opportunity to vote.
They are allowed. Republican suits will probably go nowhere, as usual. While Democrat lawsuits (like the one which demands that the fair districts from 2022 be scrapped and replaced with a Democrat gerrymander) get rubberstamp approval.
Allowing increased opportunities for Democrat vote fraud is bad enough, but the 2024 congressional elections in New York were likely to be a bloodbath for the GOP anyway.
When the new Rat gerrymander gets put into place, that probability goes from “likely” to “99% definite”.
Here is a thread on the bill signed into law.
