Gov. Hochul on Election Security: The Federal Gov’t Has Been Dismantling the Protections We Rely on to Protect the Essence of Our Democracy

RUSH EXCERPT:
HOCHUL: "No, The federal government has basically been dismantling all the protections that we’ve come to rely on to protect this core essence of our democracy. See, the is that when you cast that vote that that citizen’s right to that obligation to determine who our leaders are that it is on the compromise that is not being challenged by the federal government just because they’re so worried about the upcoming results. That is exactly what is happening and when I went to focus on it. Yes, we pass the John rights vote. Yeah is a tough as protections in the country and just recently I signed a law. Many many protections against what ice is doing to say. Ice agents cannot show up at polling places. Can you see this scenario? Black and brown communities across our country and in New York, where they’re all the sign on Election Day to create that fear factor and intimidation factor that there are so good at? I do not want to see that compromise the validity of our election, so what Donald Trump is doing right now is throwing out that the biggest red herring you’D ever see and questioning the the actual results that are happening so we’re working hard on this year. I’ll make sure. We are protected, but I can’t count on the federal government for any anything this face, because there are not compromised"
