A New York court rejected a GOP effort to scale back the state’s new mail-in voting law that was passed last year, dealing a blow to state Republicans who challenged the provisions as unconstitutional. 

The Albany Supreme Court Monday dismissed the challenge, preserving the New York Early Mail Voter Act that was signed into law by New York Gov. Kathy Hochul in September. The new law allows all voters to cast their ballots by mail during the early voting period, expanding on the state’s previous law that only allowed voters to do so if they met certain qualifications.
