Should NY State's Primaries Be Moved?

Legislature planning to push this year's primaries to Thursday, Sept. 13.

This year's September state primaries were scheduled to take place on Tuesday, Sept. 11, more than a decade after primaries were disrupted by one of the worst terror attacks on American soil ever.

In deference to the rememberance of those killed, including firefighters and police officers, state legislative leaders have agreed to move this years primaries from Sept. 11 to Sept. 13, according to the Associated Press.

The move could be complete as soon as this week.
