“It’s the best way to fight gerrymandering and to make sure one political party can’t draw districts to benefit themselves. The citizens get to draw it,” Czarny said. “There’s no better example of the use of government power.” https://www.syracuse.com/politics/cny/2019/06/syracuse-lawmakers-pass-election-reforms-aimed-at-preventing-gerrymandering.html

“Syracuse will become the first city east of the Mississippi to enact this incredible reform.

“People no longer want to wait for a single day to vote– they want to fit it into their schedule. A single mom, a shift worker, the ability to vote on the weekends, this is what early voting allows for,” said the Democratic elections commissioner for Onondaga County, Dustin Czarny.  https://www.localsyr.com/news/your-local-election/find-out-where-you-can-vote-early-for-novembers-2019-general-election/

“If you go out and you vote early, if there’s a problem with your voter registration, if you’re not sure where you’re registered to vote, these voting centers are designed so you can go to any one of them and vote,” said Dustin Czarny, the Onondaga County Democratic elections commissioner. “And if there is a problem,Continue reading “Onondaga County Officials Encourage Voters to Participate in Early Voting – Spectrum”
