This is VOTER SUPPRESSION and worse, rooted in Jew-hatred and Democrat despotism.
De Blasio considering shutting down early voting sites in area under COVID lockdown: report
The mayor said he would consult the Board of Elections
De Blasio makes last-minute decision to delay in-person learning for public school students

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said that he may close early voting locations in areas of Brooklyn and Queens that are currently under coronavirus lockdown restrictions imposed last week by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, the New York Post reported.
The specified zip codes are facing varying degrees of prohibitions that include bans on indoor dining, school closures, and strict caps on numbers allowed in houses of worship.
“This is something we’re going to have to sort out,” de Blasio said Tuesday. “We obviously have a new situation here trying to make sure there is not a resurgence. So that’s something that we will talk through with our health officials and with the Board of Elections to figure out the best way to approach it.”
Fox News asked the mayor’s office if he has since been in touch with the Board of Elections, but de Blasio’s office did not immediately respond.
De Blasio noted that people can still vote by mail as a “fall back,” as well as “voting on Election Day itself.”
“So there’s more than one way for people to address this, depending on what we see.”
The restrictions were required as of Friday, October 9, and are to remain in place until at least October 23. Early voting starts October 24 and ends November 1. The deadline for requesting an absentee ballot online is October 27, although voters can still request one in person up until November 2.
Many of the affected areas are known for having large Orthodox Jewish populations, and some members of those communities took to the streets to protest the governor’s restrictions, which came during the Jewish high holiday season. Cuomo also singled out Orthodox Jewish groups for criticism at a press conference earlier this month.
Jewish groups sued Cuomo over the restrictions, claiming that they ““make it impossible for Orthodox Jews to comply with both their religious obligations and the order.”
Cuomo senior advisor Rich Azzopardi defended the mayor’s actions, while acknowledging that the governor’s office has “been sued virtually every day for every action taken” during the pandemic.
“We’re concentrating on reducing the virus in these hot spots and saving lives, period,” Azzopardi said.

Of course not!
His hostility towards Jews and Christians is in the open and as best I know unprecedented.
I am not a lawyer but I can’t see how he can legally get away with shutting down Jewish voting early.
He must also be making parents crazy with kids who need to be IN school. Cuomo seems to be going along with it.
I never dreamed I would see such hatred and craziness in my lifetime.

Disagree….they are following the “Soros” plan….he hates Jews….he hates America and has sworn to bring America down…..the Jews and the Millennial idiots are helping him do it.
You know who is “cowardly”? The FBI, the DOJ, and the Gonif’s in President Trump’s administration…the bought and paid for Dems and RINOs collecting their China money. The Deep State.
They are in too deep now….if they turn around and do the right thing….Soros will destroy them.

If a Christian, or any religious person, tells me they are 100% sure God exists, and if an Atheists tells me that he is 100% sure God does not exist, are they both fundamentalist’s ?.
Personally I dont know and perhaps I will find out once I die.

The people of NYC are going to have to PERSONALLY remove him from office, and I don’t mean by voting. They will either have to overpower his security or convince them to step aside, go in and take him out and do what needs to be done to treasonous scum. If he is hiding in a safe room(like in that Jodie Foster movie) they will have to burn where he is living to the ground. I’m sorry if anyone at Gellar is offended by this. This is my personal opinion of what needs to be done to stop the insanity and treason this scumbag is committing. I can’t believe we are witnessing this not only in NYC, but all over the country in states and cities run by treasonous democratic scum.

Michael you are absolutely correct. There seems to be no recourse to do this in a non violent way consistent with our laws. Here is Michigan Whitmer’s actions have been found unconstitutional and she simply transferred the lockdown orders to the Michigan Department of Public Health and their Director just reissued her orders. The Supreme Court Decision has had NO effect – and the Michigan State Supreme Court is silent. So now we are waiting for another decision as to whether or not Whitmer can do this.

Nazis rule, which is why I will NOT vote November 3 for an outright criminal Biden and the totally moronic s.o.b. Trump.
I was a political activist here for decades and now I’m embarrassed to live in the USA.

Sure…..the list of President Trump’s accomplishments in making everything better after Hussein Obama’s horrors…is so long…it would take 30 minutes to read the list.
But go ahead….please, please, please don’t vote….and while you’re at it….apply to Canada for citizenship ….they will welcome you with open arms.
And FYI….everyone who votes is a “political activist”…. your not special.

I disagree with your plea to not vote. By not voting you are , in effect, voting for the least qualified person.

There are NO perfect candidates, vote for the one that is most agreeable to you. Or, vote for the one that is the least disagreeable to you. By not voting you are in effect voting for the worst candidate.

What vote? For President….or for other offices? What state?
And why not? Are their no candidates you like you can vote for?
Not voting is the same as voting for the ones you say are restricting voting….

Hassidics are virtually 100% in favour of Trump. Put two and two together and you see why De Blasio wants to limit their voting options.
