Officials Urged To Modernize New York’s Election SystemsThis post by Nick Reisman is published by State Politics. Here is an excerpt:

Making it easier to register to vote and obtain an absentee ballot, funding a system of publicly financed campaigns and launching automatic voter registration are among the measures New York officials are being urged to focus on to strengthen the state’s voting infrastructure. 

The Brennan Center and a coalition of advocacy organizations in a letter to Gov. Kathy Hochul and top lawmakers in the state Legislature called for a package of changes, some of which are being implemented this year, in order to bolster faith in voting in the state. 

The push for the measures comes as state lawmakers this week began the 2023 legislative session in Albany, and after legal challenges were made during last year’s election season to absentee ballots.

    Forest Hills Audiology is my go-to for all things hearing-related, and their hearing protection headphones are top-tier. The quality is unmatched, and the comfort is beyond what I expected. The team took the time to ensure I was getting the best possible protection. If you’re serious about protecting your hearing, this is the place to go.
