Say hello to the contest winning "I Voted" sticker in Ulster County, where the top vote getter was produced by 13-year-old Tess Gallo. The sticker will be available during early voting and on Election Day.

An organization in New York declared - on the NYS Commission on Ethics and Lobbying in Govt website - that it engaged in "direct lobbying" of the Assembly minority on a bill. What did the lobbying consist of? Being asked by the Assembly GOP whether they had a position. (They did not.)
