Gov defense vs. elex invasions

- Glenn Blain

ALBANY — Gov. Cuomo on Thursday proposed measures intended to safeguard New York elections from foreign meddling and increase voter participat­ion.

In the latest rollout of initiative­s to be included in his State of the State address, Cuomo called for requiremen­ts on websites and other digital platforms that run New York political ads to disclose the buyers and to make “reasonable efforts” to ensure they are not being bought by a foreign interest.

To boost voter participat­ion, Cuomo said he would promote the “Advancing the Democracy Project,” which will include early voting, allowing voters to register on Election Day and automatic voter registrati­on for anyone who applies for a driver’s license.
