Fearing NY Trump Win, Democrats Gives Obsessed Trump-Hater Letitia James Power Over NY’s Closest Election Contests

Trump’s top legal foe to be handed ‘unprecedented’ election power ahead of November: election attorney. New state law gives Trump enemy Letitia James power over NY’s closest election contests.

The new rule upends the system of constitutionally mandated, bipartisan election administration that has served New York’s voters ably for generations.

And it will give AG Letitia James unprecedented power over election processes in some of the most hotly contested congressional districts in the nation, including those on Long Island and in the Hudson Valley.

he law requires certain counties, cities, towns, villages and school districts to get the blessing of the AG or a designated court before making election-related or voting-related changes.

Jurisdictions can fall under the new rule’s shadow for multiple reasons — including arrest rates for citizens in “protected classes.” (NYP)

Trump’s top legal foe to be handed ‘unprecedented’ election power ahead of November: election attorney

‘Nobody is really talking about it or what a big effect it’s going to have,’ New York election attorney says

A new requirement in New York that will take effect this weekend is set to grant Democrat New York Attorney General Letitia James widespread power over the state’s election process, a New York election attorney said.

“Nobody is really talking about it or what a big effect it’s going to have,” election attorney Joseph T. Burns, partner at the law firm Holtzman Vogel, told Fox News Digital in a phone interview this week. “But it’s interesting because, look, there’s a lot of bad stuff that happens in New York when it comes to the elections and everything else, but this strikes me as being particularly bad. And it’s certainly quite a power grab by the attorney general as well.”

Under the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act of New York, which Gov. Kathy Hochul signed into law in 2022, a preclearance requirement in the law is set to take effect on Sept. 22. The new rule requires certain jurisdictions in the Empire State to request preclearance from the attorney general or a designated court to make election-related decisions, which range from changing the hours of early voting to culling deceased residents from a voter list, Burns said.

Burns published an op-ed in the New York Post this week, warning that the new law hands James “unprecedented power over election processes in some of the most hotly contested congressional districts in the nation, including those on Long Island and in the Hudson Valley.” The upcoming requirement has flown under the radar, Burns said, telling Fox Digital, “Nobody’s talking about. It’s pretty remarkable.”
