"It’s a mixed bag,” said Susan Lerner, the executive director of Common Cause New York, a government reform group. “A more open, lengthier process probably would have given us a stronger result.

“But I don’t want to undercut the fact that we’re at least talking about these things and at least moving some reforms.”

Advocates for early voting, including Common Cause-NY, said Wednesday the state needs to provide $25 million to $30 million in the $175 billion budget to implement early voting and avoid having the full cost paid by local property taxpayers. The New York State Association of Counties estimates that cost for implementing the system at $7 million to $10 million, and electronic poll books will cost another $27 million to $30 million.

Dje, në një nga garat më të mbushura me njerëz në historinë e qytetit të Nju Jorkut, Jumaane Williams fitoi fushatën e tij për Avokatin Publik kundër 16 kandidatëve të tjerë me 33% votash.
