New York State Attorney General Letitia James has joined a coalition of attorneys general and the governor of Pennsylvania in suing the U.S. Postal Service to block a new rule that would give the agency control over mail-in voting in federal elections. Under the proposal, states would need to collect basic voter information, such as a person's name and home address, and enter it into a federal ballot mail portal before it can be accepted by the mail service. The attorneys general allege the rule illegally interferes with their constitutional authority to administer elections because it allows the USPS to reject mail. "The president of the United States voted by mail," James said in an interview with NY1's Errol Louis (@errollouis.bsky.social). "It is safe, it's secure, it's been used by a number of states and we're too close to the midterm elections for them to implement this rule, and that's why we are in court again seeking an immediate temporary restraining order stopping this chaos and confusion."

A dresser in the Merchant's House Museum, built in 1832, has been discovered as a secret link to the Underground Railroad — the first of its kind discovered in Manhattan in over 100 years. NY1 received an exclusive first look at the concealed passage, which runs from the second floor down to a pantry hideaway in the basement. The passageway had been known about for decades, but its purpose was unknown to historians. Museum researchers recently discovered that the builder of the Merchant’s House, Joseph Brewster, was a passionate abolitionist who built false floors in integrated abolitionist churches and created this route in his own home to aid freedom seekers.
