    The Democrat announced a proposal Sunday that includes early voting, automatic voter registration through motor vehicle services, and allowing same-day voter registration on Election Days.

    Cuomo says the proposals would modernize the state’s election system and make it easier for voters to participate.

    The early voting proposal calls for at least one polling place in each county available to voters in the 12 days before Election Day. New York is one of 13 states that doesn’t have early voting.

    The automatic registration would send information from motor vehicle applications directly to county boards of election, unless a resident opted out.

    Vote fraud

    Typical Democrat who needs to retire. It ain’t immigration that needs more careful vetting. But this rapid registration will allow illegal immigrants and convicted felons the right to vote. Their votes will have been already counted long before anyone discovers that they had no right to vote. Policies like that benefit the only political party that caters to this – the Democratic party. This is a travesty.

    Anything that encourages people to vote is OK by me.
