REFORM THE NY STATE ELECTION LAWS

Let me speak in the vernacular "New York State's Election Laws SUCK! They need to be changed and updated to meet the needs of the people and the election process brought into the 21st Century. Old processes, systems, voting machines are so outdated that it is a horrendous joke. A change in the number of signatures required to get on the ballot should be drastically lowered to "reasonable amounts" ascending from say 100 for lower offices to perhaps a couple of thousand for any presidential race and that all petitions and Election documents written clearly in plain English as to be understood by a fifth grade reader. THE "PLAYING FIELD SHOULD BE LEVELED" to allow all Candidates a chance to run for office and even win regardless of Party or "Non" affiliations.I'm writing this because this is effecting the recently called "Special Election" and in particular, my Candidacy and I want to direct your attention to my prior blog below this. If Iraq can have an Election with 14,000 candidates why can't we New Yorkers have an election where all the people who went out and got signatures (and there are only seven for my race) are allowed to be on the ballot without cutthroat challenges!!!
