Under the guise of “strengthening democracy” and “protecting voter rights,” New York state is ushering in controversial new election laws that may lead to increased voter fraud.

As shown in Dinesh D’Souza’s documentary “2,000 Mules,” video surveillance appeared to show hired “mules” conducting “ballot trafficking” in which they stuff fake absentee ballots into numerous drop boxes.

Republicans have argued that there should be rare exceptions to voting in person with a voter I.D., which include absence from the county of residence or being unable to go to their polling place because of illness or physical disability.

“This legislation will create a process allowing all eligible, registered New York State voters the opportunity to vote early by mail in advance of an election,” a statement on the governor’s website reads.

“This legislation represents a significant expansion of ballot access in New York State, and will provide millions of New York voters with an easy, safe, and secure means of voting early by mail ballot.”

Numerous people say this law is unconstitutional, including Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik, the Republican National Committee and the New York Republican State Committee.

“The Mail-Voting Law is a blatant violation of Article II, § 2 of the New York State Constitution, which requires qualified voters to cast their vote in any election in person at their designated polling places unless they will be unable to do so,” the lawsuit says.

“The Mail-Voting Law was enacted by the Legislature in open and knowing defiance of Article II, § 2, ignoring and subverting the will of the People whom the Legislature is supposed to represent. Only two years earlier at the general election held in November 2021, the voters of the State soundly rejected a constitutional amendment proposed by the Legislature entitled “Authorizing No-Excuse Absentee Ballot Voting,” which had sought to amend Article II, § 2 by deleting the requirements for absentee voting in order to allow all qualified voters to vote by mail without providing a specific reason.”
