Congrats on the anniversary!

Re Stefanik (ugh). Chris Churchill of the Albany Times Union has pointed out that a statewide vote was held (I have no recollection of same but I believe him) and the proposition to allow vote by mail was soundly defeated. He has also pointed out the those opposed (Republicans) put a whole bunch of effort into defeating the prop. Those in favor (Democrats) barely lifted a finger. So. The prop lost. His point was that Hochul ignored the “will of the people.” As a true blue Dem some part of me wants to respond “So what?” Vote by mail is good for democracy. Would I feel the same way if the prop were about, say, relaxing gun laws and allowing 16 year olds to buy AR 15s? Of course not. I would be livid.

Moral of the story: watch those sneaky props, folks!

It’s so interesting that whenever I read of fraudulent voting, they are mostly found to be Republican. Apparently stefanik and her maga brains cannot digest truth. I loved your Long Island girl story. As a Long Island girl who loves Washington and Warren counties, I myself have amazing love stories which I need to sit down and write. Thank you for yours…. 🫶🏻
