The state's chief elections enforcement officer either had her wings clipped this week or reasonable oversight authority was finally put in place. Your opinion of the actions taken by the state Board of Elections commissioners could depend on how you view the work of Risa Sugarman, New York's election law watchdog for the last four years. Her work is now subject to new reporting requirements and the bipartisan board will have more say in the subpoenas she issues for investigations. Jennifer Wilson, the legislative director for the League of Women Voters of New York, joined the podcast to talk about Sugarman's time in office, weighed in on the new regulations for her office and contemplated what it all means for election law scofflaws moving forward.   Learn more about your ad choices.
