[LocalLeagueVoterService] LWVNYS: Info for your Voters Guides

[Maggie Moehringer]

Hello everyone and I'm sure you're already very busy. Here's a couple of
tidbits. 1). From the look of the petitions, Supreme Court justices
(actually judicial delegates and alternates to the conventions) are being
elected in all judicial districts except JD1 and 2 (New York and Kings
Counties) and JD6, which is Broome, Chemung, Chenango, Cortland, Delaware,
Madison, Otsego, Schuyler, Tioga and Thompkins Counties. 2). Still no clues
on any ballot issues but I will keep asking/snooping; legalized casino
gambling will not be on the ballot; 3). Suggested Questions for your guides
are below.

Regards,

Maggie Moehringer, LWVNYS VP Voter Service
