The New York Court of Appeals on Tuesday upheld the constitutionality of the state’s early mail-in voting law, rejecting a lawsuit led by GOP plaintiffs including Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY).
The lawsuit, known as Stefanik v. Hochul, sought to block the implementation of the law, arguing it violated state constitutional provisions. However, the court ruled 6-1 that the law, which allows voters to cast their ballots by mail for any reason before Election Day, does not infringe upon any constitutional rights.
