Republican groups and lawmakers are suing the state of New York and Governor Kathy Hochul (D) over efforts to open absentee voting to all residents without needing an excuse for why they cannot vote in person.
The move comes after a successful lawsuit by Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach, challenging the previous provision that permitted individuals to alter their gender on state documentation.
A bill in California passed last week requiring foster families to, "demonstrate an ability and willingness to meet the needs of the child regardless of the child’s sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression."
