We have full trust in our election officials to ensure the integrity of the process as they navigate these issues.

The NY Dems voter protection team is monitoring these issues. Any additional issues can be reported to 844-NY-VOTES

These are issues with *scanners*. You can still cast your vote, and the vote will be placed in the secure emergency bag and counted later, in accordance with pre-established contingency plans.

[Westchester Gov @westchestergov]

The Westchester County Board of Elections (BOE) is aware of an issue involving paper ballots that is preventing voting machines from accepting ballots at polling locations throughout the County. The Westchester Board of Elections wants to reassure every voter that your vote matters, your ballot will be secure and your vote will be counted.

The Board of Elections is in constant communication with New York State officials, Westchester County Government and poll workers to address this issue and ensure that voting continues with as little disruption as possible. In the meantime, voters should continue to complete their paper ballots as instructed by poll workers. Ballots will be placed in designated orange emergency ballot bags, which will remain secure and monitored. These ballots will subsequently be counted in accordance with applicable election procedures.

We strongly encourage all voters to remain in line, exercise patience and, most importantly, cast their ballots.

The BOE sincerely apologizes to voters and poll workers for the inconvenience this situation has caused, and the BOE recognizes the importance of a smooth and efficient voting process. They are taking every necessary step to address the issue as quickly as possible.

Let us be absolutely clear: Every eligible vote will be counted. No voter should be discouraged from participating in this election because of this issue. Your voice matters. Your vote matters. Please stay in line and vote.

[Westchester Young Dems 👊🇺🇸🔥 @WYD914]

Everything the Board of Elections does is overseen by a Democratic and Republican staff member with equal power and oversight- all the way up to the commissioner level- and most aspects of the process are observable by the public or designated representatives of the parties.

To be fair, “name a former NY AG you admire” is a tougher question than it sounds.

Easier one: name an AG who's fought harder for New Yorkers than @TishJames. I'll wait.

🚨NEW @HouseMajPAC ad in #NY17🚨

Hudson Valley families are being crushed by 60% utility rate increases and lobbyist Mike Lawler voted to HIKE UP utility costs

The Hudson Valley can't afford this lobbyist congressman anymore ⤵️

[Monica Venzke @monicavenzke]

Happy 5’6” Mike Lawler, it’s your day 🩷

[Jason Beeferman @JasonBeeferman]

NEW: @lawler4ny ran a local party and two advocacy organizations which sent hundreds of thousands of $ to his own political consulting and lobbying firm before he was elected. That's in addition to the $500k his political campaigns have paid the firm.

He also spoke and presented awards at a political fundraiser last year for the Rockland GOP, of which he is the chairman. A business and labor group donated to the county party in connection to the fundraiser. If Lawler solicited those contributions, that would appear to violate FEC rules. But his campaign said he never asked for party money at the event. And he called the entire story a "hatchet job" https://t.co/KX4Pj9Ymo5

Oops!

Tonight, some Dems in #NY17 received an anonymous text that attacked @CaitforNewYork and tried to stir up trouble between her and primary opponents.

But an attempt to opt-out of the text revealed the true source:

MIKE LAWLER

Guess his team forgot to remove his name 🤷?

[JerryRigEverything @ZacksJerryRig]

ICE is going to become 'Election Security' in blue states and I think we need to have a conversation about that.

[Monica Venzke @monicavenzke]

My wonderful friend and her evil Republican boyfriend

[Westchester Young Dems 👊🇺🇸🔥 @WYD914]

Does Lawler believe that “you should only follow orders that are constitutional” is an ill-advised comment??

[Melanie Zanona @MZanona]

Lawler says “The President should not imply that Members of Congress should face death, no matter how ill-advised their comments are.

The rhetoric needs to be brought down stat.”

[Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 @FmrRepMTG]

@Olivia_Beavers I also demanded what is the Republican healthcare plan???

[Westchester Young Dems 👊🇺🇸🔥 @WYD914]

It’s alarming that close allies of Mike Lawler were named in yesterday’s Politico article about the leaked group messages. We call on him to release his messages with those individuals, to reassure NY17 that when he condemns violence publicly, he's not glorifying it privately.

[Drew Savicki @DrewSav]

Marie Gluesenkamp Perez breaks from her party more often than any other member of Congress. Meanwhile Mike Lawler who represents a Harris won district has voted with Trump 100% of the time
