N.Y.'s year since the Oct. 7 attack in Israel

And more N.Y. voters are moving away from both major parties.

Good afternoon — it’s Monday.

In today’s CapCon:

• The ripple effects of the Oct. 7 attack in New York over the past year

• Civic groups: why don’t these colleges have polling places?

• More voters in New York are moving away from both major parties

• This Week in New York History: Eleanor Roosevelt, tuxedos in Tuxedo Park, Stamp Act protests

• New Bills of Note: drugged driving, food delivery assaults and a pregnancy app

📆 One year in New York since the Oct. 7 attacks

As you likely know, today is the anniversary of the horrific Oct. 7 attack on Israel by Hamas. The conflict has ignited tensions in the Middle East to levels not recently seen.

It’s also been closely watched in New York, where the attack and Israel’s response have been inserted into politics and could lead to new changes in state law.

I was thinking about what to lead CapCon with today and found myself coming back to how the attack led to several high-profile moments in New York over the last year.
