NY lawmakers want to change the state constitution to allow municipal elections in even years, like state + federal contests, in hopes of boosting turnout. In an ideal democracy, most voters would vote in all elections. We don't live in that. Smart idea. gothamist.com/news/what-if-n…
.@CitizensUnionNY, a nonpartisan nonprofit that's been a leading proponent of shifting city elections, issued a detailed analysis in January 2023 that found turnout increased by up to 460% in cities that switched their elections to coincide with state and federal elections.

Moving mayoral elections to an even year instead of odd would do wonders for participation rates. 3x as many voters in the 2020 presidential election in NYC than in the 2021 mayoral election.

"Because of the stigma, members of the general public take it upon themselves to act against the more vulnerable person." Interesting one from @karen_yi: gothamist.com/news/a-year-af…
One interesting implication of this policy is that it would substantially help Eric Adams (or candidates w/ Adams' coalition). Ran an analysis once that estimated this policy would improve Adams' performance to 55+% (compared to 50.5%)

The “Trump is definitely gonna win” tone of two months ago was embarrassing. The “Biden’s got this” tone after the SOTU was embarrassing. The amount to which coverage shifts every two weeks based on the whims of individual poll….embarrassing!!

I'm very proud to share that my coverage of alleged voter fraud in the Flushing City Council race last year was awarded third place for Investigative/In-Depth Reporting at this year's New York Press Association awards over the weekend. Stories like these are why I do what I do.

Great piece from @brigidbergin on the effort to move low-turnout city elections to even years. It's a common-sense way to give more New Yorkers the chance to be heard in local elections.

Aligning NYC’s municipal elections with state/presidential elections would allow more voters to participate in our democracy. This one is a no-brainer. Another great piece from @brigidbergin!

Really pleased about this. I put so much work into Campaign Confidential, and many others at C&S edited it, designed it, and marketed it to make it a must-read among our community of NYC election obsessives.
