The hearing in U.S. v State of New York, 10-cv-1214, over the state’s primary date, has been postponed for a third time. It was going to be on November 17, but now is set for December 1. The case concerns New York’s September 2012 primary date (for office other than President). With the primary that late, New York is unable to comply with the 2009 law that tells states they must send overseas absentee ballots at least 45 days before any federal primary or federal general election. The case is in U.S. District Court in Albany, in front of Judge Gary Sharpe.
