You may be familiar with early voting. For instance, that was the first a bill that I passed in the state Senate that allows for us to vote before the designated election day. 37 other states were doing [early voting] before New York. It wasn't until 2019 that we were able to catch up. We closed some of the loopholes that people were using to exploit our campaign finance system. (17:27–17:30)
