NYS Board of Elections
Leadership at the State Board of Elections (where diversity reigns) seen in 2017: From left to right, Co-Executive Director Robert A. Brehm, Commissioner Andrew J. Spano, Commissioner and Co-Chair Douglas A. Kellner, Commissioner and Co-Chair Peter S. Kosinski, former Commissioner Gregory P. Peterson (his seat is now vacant), and Co-Executive Director Todd D. Valentine.
In January, a federal judge concluded that the Board of Elections’ practice of rendering voters ‘inactive’ based on post office errors, and then keeping the names of these deactivated voters away from polling sites, is not just unlawful but unconstitutional.
