Empty voting booths in the Bronx during the first day of early voting.Early voting is underway across the state of New York, and we are one week away from Primary Day.

Hochul trying to send a message by signing it yesterday, on the Juneteenth holiday — signaling to New York voters, and especially voters of color, that New York is watching their rights.
