ALBANY — Democrats are actively recruiting people to attend the Public Finance Reform Commission’s meeting in Albany on Wednesday to speak out against fusion voting. An email from Albany County Democratic Chair Jack Flynn sent to ward leaders on Monday noted that state Democratic chairman Jay Jacobs would be in Albany for a meeting of the commission, on which he serves.

I like fusion voting, because it gives me an opportunity to vote on alternative party lines, for mainline candidates. It kind of is one of those particular political oddities that kind of make a New York unique and fun political environment.
