“Absentee-ballot voters have had the right to amend their votes on Election Day for decades, and cynical attempts by Gov. Hochul and the Democrat Party to strip them of those rights were wrong,” he added. But lawmakers subsequently enacted a measure that allowed people to vote by mail if they feared catching COVID-19 by voting in person. That expansion of absentee voting is set to expire at the end of this year.

'Fear of Covid' give me a break.

fear of getting mugged would have sailed through the courts.

Fear = control

The judge must have watched 2000 Mules. 👍😀

Zeldin is scaring them.

No, but voter fraud is.

Red wave gonna be a tsunami

There is some sanity left in NY after all?

And this judge need to be jailed and all those votes thrown out

😂😂😂

For 250 years we voted in the ballot boxes until Obama figured out how to cheat the system .

Good.

Based. Zeldin + 3

I fear an insecure vote-by-mail system more than the Democrats fear COVID.

Its about time a judge stands up for the law. They only use mail in voting to cheat. It should only be used if you are disabled or you are going to be out of town.

You obviously didn’t read the article… the headline is confusing… the judge rules it is unconstitutional to vote by mail!

Because it is unconstitutional. BTW the process for absentee voting and mailin voting are totally different. Look it up.

JennaEllisEsq I believe, President Biden and the CDC declared the Covid pandemic over. Making it now illegal to use the pandemic as a legal way of changing the voting without Congressional or the citizens or the courts approval.

I've got a bad feeling, about the up & coming midterms.

JennaEllisEsq Perfect!

So people (all Left) are conveniently forgetting it was BIDEN who said the pandemic is over?

Well no shit we already said this

JennaEllisEsq uh oh

If the masks & vcxx work then what is the big deal?

Lol good

SebGorka Covid-19 is over as stated by our president! 🤨👎

nedryun Daaauuum

Cheat cheat cheat

'But her decision could lead to the overturning of a state law that blocks people from changing their mail-in votes by showing up to cast in-person ballots on Election Day.' This is why they're big mad.

Good .. it's an invitation to more fraud

If considered unconstitutional how was it allowed in the last election then?

NOPE DONT TRUST IT

If you can go out to steal, you can go out to vote.

DreaHumphrey Get ready for the incumbent establishment to attempt every weaselly loophole to ensure they remain the incumbents.

SebGorka Nobody should be afraid of COVID UNLESS you are a morbidly obese smoker

The GOP Is Preventing Democracy

Judges breaking the law again. 😑

Good

Corruption at its finest.

EASY TO VOTE HARDER TO CHEAT👏👏👏👏👏👏👇👇👇👇MAGA‼️

Third world countries don’t even vote by mail lol

that_denver I think I read that they filed an immediate appeal, which will prevent the ruling from taking effect until after Election Day

🤣

Quit cheating!!!

Now they can’t cheat anymore

We have all learned how to live with a covid. These people can go vote in person and they CAN AND SHOULD have their ID cards and signatures verified!! We're not playing voter fraud anymore! That game is almost over

SebGorka The Judge does have our Constitutional best interests in mind…🤔👍

SebGorka Well postal voting proved very successful for the Democrats so of course they want it to continue for the foreseeable future..

Great! One less way for them to harvest and cheat

Vote in person! GOTV

SUCH BULLSH!T! These evil, cheating, parasite Democrats, are going to do it again at the midterms. They don’t know how to win without lying or cheating and most of these pathetic lumps of excrement Republicans will let them get away with it again. COWARDS!

Yes, voter fraud is unconstitutional.

Democrats still tryna cheat 🤣

Hopefully there is enough wall to protect us from the cheating squads. Let’s gooooooooooo Zeldin. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

He’s not hitting in the playoffs but they let him decide what’s constitutional. How bout hitting a couple of fingers

Mask up and go vote! You go to the grocery store you can go vote

Based

This is great news, now it's harder for them to cheat!

👏👏👏👏👏

Translation: 'too many people voting republican by mail'

How about because it's easy and works?

YESSSSS LETS GO ZELDIN

But will NY abide or ignore?

Oh big news there. Damage is done.

That throws a wrench into the works .. you mean the democrats will have to count votes fairly? Countdown to the desperate claims of right wing extremism!!!

It's un-American to prevent people from voting, and it's no big surprise that a MAGA Republican judge would rule this way. I suspect an appeal will be coming and will be successful.

Mail in voting is too easy to cheat. It's already been proven. How mail in voting is even legal is a sad joke

Well yeah, obviously

Of course . . . . .
