Letter to New York’s Legislative Leaders on Trump’s Voting and Elections Executive Order
Common Cause New York, NAACP, 32BJ SEIU and 30+ Groups Urge Albany to Resist Trump's Assault on Voting Rights.
"New York has made significant progress in recent years to modernize and strengthen our election system… We will not allow those hard-won gains to be rolled back by an illegal and politically motivated Executive Order."
On March 27th, we and our partner voting rights organizations, leading unions, and Let NY Vote coalition members sent a letter to Governor Hochul, Senate Majority Leader Stewart-Cousins, Assembly Speaker Heastie and Chairs of the Elections Committees urging them to stand up against President Trump’s unconstitutional executive order meant to dismantle our voting rights.
The Executive Order, “falsely claims that non-citizens are voting in federal elections and directs states to take sweeping and unnecessary measures that threaten the rights of eligible voters and the integrity of our democracy.”
We urged Albany leaders to resist the Trump administration Executive Order by supporting pro-voter policies that expand ballot access, joining litigation to challenge the Executive Order, and expanding support for county Boards of Elections.
