For almost three years now, we have been attempting to expose the lack of equity and accessibility to early voting sites for residents living in the City of Troy. The cry for media coverage related to, what many refer to as blatant voter suppression in Rensselaer County, has largely been ignored. Last year, we joined with Senator Neil Breslin and Assemblyman John McDonald to pass legislation that would strengthen laws related to early voting. Our efforts were rewarded when the Stateâs Early Voting Law was amended, requiring Boards of Elections to locate early voting sites where a majority of the population lives making voting for citizens easier and more accessible. Rensselaer County did not comply.
