“Early voting is a game-changer for New Yorkers who no longer have to choose between getting to work on time or exercising their democratic rights," Susan Lerner, executive director of Common Cause/NY and the co-founder of Let NY Vote, said at a Washington Square Park rally to drum up interest. "We hope every New York voter will join us and vote early.”

The case, which is led by the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law and Common Cause New York, together with pro bono law firm Dechert LLP and LatinoJustice PRLDEF, is being heard at a federal courthouse in Manhattan by Judge Allison J. Nathan of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.

“Voters who have registered, who have voted previously should not be removed from the voter rolls simply because something has happened to a piece of mail,” said Susan Lerner, executive director of Common Cause New York. “The federal statute really requires more time before somebody can be removed from the active rolls,” she added.

"Early voting is a game changer for New Yorkers who no longer have to choose between getting to work on time or exercising their democratic rights," said Susan Lerner, executive director of Common Cause/NY and co-founder of Let NY Vote.

“Just think if we had ranked choice voting for the special election for public advocate where we had 17 people running. It would have been easier for the voted to make sense of that crowded field,” said Susan Lerner, Executive Director of Common Cause New York.

“New Yorkers deserve elections that lift up our voices, and push candidates to campaign better,” said Susan Lerner.
