An Opportunity to Balance the Scales

Cornwall voters have an historic opportunity this fall that they haven’t had in generations: to elect six Democrats to Town offices. It wouldn’t simply be another example of the Blue Wave we began to see last year. It would amount to a seismic shift in Town of Cornwall governance.

For generations Cornwall has been ruled by one party, and that's simply unhealthy at any level of government. Happily, it's not the case in Cornwall anymore! As of the most recent update by the Board of Elections voter registrations in Cornwall are 2,931 Democrats to 2,979 Republicans – a difference of only 48 voters and a statistical tie at 32%.

Another matter for history is that this year will mark the first election in New York under the new early voting laws. For the first time local voters can vote up to nine days before Election Day proper.
