The next step in the long fight for #studentvoting rights. With NY victory, next step is going national for on-campus poll sites (though we will still keep an eye on Dutchess) thx Dutchess Student Voting Coalition, @AndrewGoodmanF @NYCLU @LWVNYS @GenVoteUS @NYPIRG

1/ Voter suppression continues for Tuesday’s tight special congressional election in #NY19. Republican Election Commissioner Haight targets student voters and voters with disabilities. Stand up and support @BardCollege. Read complaint to state BOE: https://t.co/o77G4w45xm #ELB

[Jonathan Becker @JBeckerCCE]

Election Commissioner Erik Haight discriminates against disabled and youth voters, supports sham ADA report, lied to Supreme Court Judge, targets @BardCollege students. Will anyone do anything by Tuesday? @DutchessCoGov ?@marcmolinaro? @TishJames @PatRyanUC ?

[Steven Pifer @steven_pifer]

Absolutely brilliant.

For those following this case, there's an English lang twitter account @Freedomforsasha with information

Sasha's lawyer says she's struggling in custody because she's celiac (gluten intolerant) & can't eat the prison food; there's also 18 people in her cell

Poll worker in Fishkill has Covid. #RunawayCommissioner @ErikHaight blocked poll hosts from following state guidance on contract tracing of workers. Calls Sheriff (seriously!!!) when voters encouraged to reveal Covid+symptoms. Reform the BOE!!! @DutchessCoGov @marcmolinaro

Trump is trying to become a wartime president. STOP THE NARRATIVE!!! He ignored, denied and abetted. He is #DisasterPresident
