MEME going around FB that the NY voting hours are a new thing - (CLINTON GROUP)

[Lucinda]

They aren't.

"...The law dates to 1909, and originally set hours of 12 to 9 p.m. for primary elections everywhere except for New York City, where the hours were 3 to 10 p.m.

In 1973, the law was changed to extend the hours in New York City from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. These extended hours were later applied to Nassau in 1977, to Suffolk, Westchester and Rockland in 1981, to Erie in 1982, and, eventually, to Orange, Putnam and Ulster. (Ulster was removed from the mix in 1997.)..."


More at link above, including court cases in the past trying to make changes in the hours.

1. They've already prepared their bullshit excuse

It must be sinking in that they are about to get a real ass whipping.

[Thinkingabout]

2. I understood there is not any early voting

[Lucinda]

3. If you mean early/absentee voting, they have it in NY.

[Princess Turandot]

4. There's absentee voting for specific reasons, not general early voting as other states have. nt

[Thinkingabout]

7. I thought I was told there was not early votng, great, this gives opportunity for the

Older and disabled to vote easier.

5. saw that the other day and I think 9 hours is plenty long to vote

[Thinkingabout]

8. In Texas we go from 7a to 7p, and about two weeks of early voting and the seniors and

Disabled can request mail ballots.

18. Same thing in my state

[NurseJackie]

6. More BS BS.

9. You would think that New Yorkers would know this.

I wonder who has called the election board to complain.

12. Someone who either

just started to pay attention or someone who is a troll.

[LiberalFighter]

13. Most likely.

[LiberalFighter]

10. Thank you! I was trying to find something to indicate when it was enacted.

The citations in their code was difficult to read.

11. Does that mean that Hillary Clinton was part of the plot in 1973

to change the election hours law in New York?

[Lucinda]

14. Clearly! She is THAT brilliant and diabolical, but will lose the GE

or so the crazies seem to think!

[Maru Kitteh]

15. Yeah you noticed that too did you?

Hillary is an evil genius who thwarts their every, innocent attempt to cast their votes . . . AND YET she will never be able to figure out how to eke out a win in November.

[Lucinda]

16. Yeppers. This election will go down as one of the weirdest ever.

Rational thought, and supporting Dems, seem to be waaaaaay out of vogue.

17. Thank you for letting us know, Lucinda~
