The sponsor's argument

Why James Skoufis says this is needed

Following the 2020 elections, national political figures attempted to delegitimize and deny the election results. Because of these efforts, significant attention turned to state and local election officials from both parties who upheld the integrity of the election results. One month after the 2020 election, a New York Times report documented chill- ing.'- threats of death or violence aimed at state election officials, local election supervisors, and voting machine technicians. Threats aimed at election officials have continued beyond 2020. In 2021, a Reuters report documented more than 100 threats of death or violence that targeted election workers and officials. These threats have taken a toll on election officials throughout the country, and a report released by the California Voter Foundation found that those targeted by threats frequently experienced trauma, stress, and anxiety. Additionally, a Brennan Center for Justice survey found that one in five election offi- cials are considering leaving their roles by 2024 in light of increasing threats and harassment. The loss of election officials who safeguard elections' integrity would further strain future elections in New York State. Considering the crucial role that election officials play in maintaining the integrity of our democracy, this legislation aims to protect better the safety of election officials and their families by allowing such officials to apply for the address confidentiality program.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
