At 10:30 a.m., state lawmakers call for
changes to the state's
voter registration laws to make it easier to register, outside Erie County Board of Elections, 134 West Eagle St., Buffalo.
Automatic
voter registration, approved in eight states and D.C., may also improve turnout via «two transformative, yet simple,
changes,» the Brennan Center for Justice, a nonpartisan public policy institution based at New York University
Law School, has written.
Now supporters of the rules
change have ammo to support their cause, as a panel set up by the Democratic National Committee — the Unity Reform Commission, which included Sanders and Clinton campaign representatives — issued a report calling for all state parties to pass
laws,
change party rules or file lawsuits if necessary, to make it easier for
voters to switch their
registration to vote in Democratic primaries.
After
voters complained of being purged from
registration rolls in New York City and others knocked the rules that prevented them from registering in party in order to participate in the Tuesday presidential primary, a new push could be made in the post-budget session for
changing the state's
voter registration laws.
