STEFANIK v. HOCHUL – Elise is Leading a MASSIVE Lawsuit to Stop Unconstitutional Unregulated Mass Mail Ballot Law in NY
Elise is leading a coalition of Republicans and Conservatives to protect what is left of New York’s election integrity – and will not allow Kathy Hochul and the NY Democrats to trample on the State constitution. That is why she has filed a lawsuit against Kathy Hochul joined by National and State Republicans.
– WHAT: Elise just filed a lawsuit against Gov. Kathy Hochul for signing legislation that allows unregulated mass mail ballots, in CLEAR violation of the New York state constitution. This UNCONSTITUTIONAL legislation from Gov. Kathy Hochul and New York Democrats allows unregulated mass mail ballots.
The New York state constitution CLEARLY reserves absentee voting for voters who are physically absent from their county of residence OR sick. No-excuse unregulated mail ballot voting is not constitutionally allowed.
The only way to LEGALLY change this voting practice is by passing a constitutional amendment.
New York Democrats already tried to get this done the legal way (via constitutional referendum), and FAILED. In 2021, it was voted down by New Yorkers (55% against unregulated mass mail ballots, while 45% voted in favor).
– WHY IT MATTERS: By ignoring the outcome of the failed referendum and trying to pass this law, Kathy Hochul and New York Democrats are ignoring the democratic process – undermining the state constitution and the rule of law.
– FROM ELISE: “Kathy Hochul and extreme New York Democrats are trying to destroy what is left of election integrity in New York. Under Kathy Hochul's failed leadership, elections are less secure and less transparent and will now be unconstitutional. As a New York voter, I am proud to lead this coalition in defending basic election integrity on behalf of all New Yorkers” – House GOP Chairwoman Elise Stefanik
