On Tuesday, the Orange County Board of Supervisors directed staff to cross-reference voter rolls with pet registration data in the county in order to make sure there are no four-legged voters with names like Fido, Fifi, Spot, Sparky or Lucky casting ballots in the next special election in November. "How do we check that dogs and cats or whatever are not on our (voter) rolls?" Supervisor Dan Wagner asked during the meeting Tuesday.

Tom Lopach, president and CEO of the Voter Participation Center, a nonprofit focused on registering people of color, unmarried women, and young voters-three groups that make up what the organization calls the New American Majority-described the severity of the situation to NPQ: "We've seen an unprecedented effort to reduce access to voting on so many levels." He noted that executive orders, federal and state legislation, court rulings, and policy and staffing changes across government agencies form "a multi-pronged attack on voting."

Jobs involving partisan or nonpartisan voter registration, voter assistance at a polling place or through a voter hotline, or serving as a poll worker—whether this takes place on or off campus—involve political activity because these activities support the process of voting which is a quintessential political activity whereby voters formally support partisan or nonpartisan political candidates by casting ballots.

Mamdani's victory was aided by an uncharacteristically weak primary field, but the 33-year-old's ability to connect with the ascendant progressives should not be discounted.

New Yorkers can shape the city's future by participating in crucial local races during the June 24 primary, with voter registration verification available online.

"We are excited to unveil a radiant spring calendar that will give every New Yorker a way to celebrate the season here in Downtown Brooklyn," said Regina Myer, president of Downtown Brooklyn Partnership.
