On May 7, the New York State Senate passed S5755, which moves this year’s primary from September 11 to September 18. The identical bill in the Assembly, A 8129, is sponsored by the Speaker of the Assembly, so this bill is extremely likely to pass. The bill’s purpose is “to recognize the significance of the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, by prohibiting the scheduling of the 2007 primary on that day.” Thanks to Thomas Jones for this news.
