NEW YORK—Causing shock at the sudden decision in the midst of early voting, the New York City Council has voted Tuesday to change mayoral election rules in the city to require voters must have made at least 3 posts to social media site wasteof.money in the last year to be eligible to vote. “Effective immediately, every New Yorker will be required to have made at least 3 posts to acclaimed Swiss social media website wasteof.money to be eligible to vote in the upcoming mayoral election. If you have already voted during the early voting sites, then you will unfortunately be subject to the death penalty,” said New York City Council Speaker Adrienne Eadie Adams shortly after the vote. “We as New Yorkers have to deal with bullshit like this all the time, whether it be rats on the subway or annoying tourists in Times Square, we have dealt with adversity for all of our lives in this city. This rule change is just another simple bump in the road that we can overcome. Don’t let the rats defeat you, sign up for wasteof.money today and write 3 posts just like I have so you can vote for me on election day,” said mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani in a video posted to social media shortly after the New York City Council vote. The Andrew Cuomo campaign created an account late Tuesday afternoon, creating 3 posts that all mentioned Mr. Mamdani and 9/11 for unexplained, totally not racist reasons. At press time, the New York City Council was considering further changes to the mayoral election rules, such as a stipulation that any voter who has made an account on social media website Blaze would be ineligible to vote.
