In an effort last year to expand voting access, Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) signed a bill moving the state’s local elections, including towns, villages, and counties, to even-numbered years, which an election attorney now claims will “nationalize local elections.” 

“It really hasn’t even gotten the attention within New York that I would have thought it would have gotten because, again, this is a monumental change to the electorate,” Joe Burns, a Republican election attorney, told Fox News.
