NY gov OKs clerical fixes on mail-in ballots, with a twist

Anticipating a wave of mail-in voting this fall, New York state will now give voters a chance to correct missing signatures and other clerical errors so their absentee ballots can be counted — but the exact provisions haven't yet been made public after last-minute negotiations between Gov. Andrew Cuomo and lawmakers. Cuomo said late Friday he'd sign — yet temporarily tweak — legislation that calls for notifying voters about such problems and provides for fixing them. Cuomo, a Democrat, said he agreed voters should be able to correct inadvertent mistakes that would otherwise invalidate their mail-in votes.
