Democratic members of the New York Board of Elections voted against taking steps to make it possible for deployed military to vote.
Despite a general consensus that military absentee ballots need to be given at least 45 days because of mail delivery delays, New York allows only 25. The Justice Department sued after New York refused to correct its procedures, but it ultimately let New York slide with a still-insufficient 30 days.
Something to keep in mind as they count absentee ballots in the NY-20 special election where the candidates are separated by just 25 votes.
