SARATOGA, NY – Today, House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik released the following statement regarding the decision by the New York State Court of Appeals.
“New York’s court system is so corrupt and disgraceful that today’s ruling has essentially declared that for over 150 years, New York’s elected officials, voters, and judges misunderstood their own state’s Constitution, and that in-person voting was never required outside the current legal absentee process. The court disgracefully claims to know the constitutional framers’ intent more than they did, disregarding the framers’ understanding, prior constitutional amendments on this issue, and constitutional interpretation norms as “not relevant.” It’s never been clearer: the only path forward to Save New York is to get commonsense New Yorkers to swamp the ballot box and vote Republican up and down the ballot and rid ourselves of New York’s politically corrupt Democrats.”
