A non-profit government watchdog is claiming that New York is refusing to fix numerous violations, including its voter registration form.
Restoring Integrity and Trust in Elections (RITE) is accusing the New York State Board of Elections (NYSBOE) of failing to address a number of issues that could compromise the integrity of their elections.
“After the board failed to correct most of the violations, RITE and [Representative Claudia] Tenney are demanding the board hand over comprehensive records and data to identify additional shortcomings in the state’s voter registration system,” Fox News reported.
Two of the violations noted by the organization reportedly “violate the Help America Vote Act (HAVA)” which means they are not in compliance with federal law.
“First, New York State did not instruct individuals that they must provide their driver’s license information if they have one. It also continued registering individuals who did not provide a driver’s license, the last four digits of their Social Security number or a declaration that the applicant has neither, as required by federal law,” the outlet explained.
As a result, millions of New York voters have provided “incomplete information during the registration process, making it more difficult for the state to accurately maintain voter lists, according to RITE.”
RITE President Justin Riemer released a statement decrying the violations.
“The law is clear: states may not accept registration forms that lack required identifying information. New York’s own regulations direct officials to do exactly that. This flagrant violation of an important federal safeguard significantly erodes the integrity of New York’s voter registration system,” he said. “We are committed to getting answers about the breadth of the problem and ensuring the state fixes it.”
Tenney also encouraged the state to provide transparency to voters.
“Transparency and accurate voter rolls are essential to maintaining public trust in our elections. The people of New York deserve answers, accountability, and full compliance with HAVA to ensure the integrity of every vote,” she said.

How do you think Hochul, Zohran & AOC win elections? Not by being honest or transparent.

This is exactly why they need to pass the Save America Act bill. Not showing ID to vote is ridiculous because most everyone of age to vote has a valid ID. If they don’t, it’s not difficult to get one!
