ABC News: Why President Trump keeps talking about a New York Democratic primary

President Donald Trump and the White House have repeatedly highlighted the chaos in the aftermath of the Democratic primary in New York’s 12th Congressional District as an example of what the nation could face in November with expanded mail-in voting.

While the primary did not validate Trump’s baseless claims that expanding mail-in ballots would taint the results of the election with fraud, the race underscored concerns about how pandemic-related changes to voting could delay the results of the general election. …

To address the concerns ahead of November, state legislators passed a series of reforms, including measures that would require officials notify voters if their ballot has been disqualified and give voters more time to request absentee ballots.

“New York did not have any infrastructure or an expanded absentee program. So the Board of Elections had to completely revise the entire way in which they were approaching absentee ballots in six weeks,” Susan Lerner, the executive director of Common Cause New York, a nonpartisan good government organization, told ABC News.
