New Yorkers headed to the polls on Election Day to cast their votes for the successor to two-term New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and on-ballot initiatives that could be of particular interest to the legal community. Question No. 2 asks voters if New York's constitution should be amended to establish a right to clean air and water, which is widely supported by Democratic elected officials and environmental groups. Several other states have similar language enshrined in their constitutions. The question has drawn fire from Republicans and pro-business groups who argue that it could open the litigation floodgates. "New York's cozy relationship with the personal injury trial bar has bred a robust litigation industry and this proposed amendment will only solidify the state's reputation as the lawsuit capital of the world," Tom Stebbins, executive director of the Lawsuit Reform Alliance of New York, told NY1. Question No. 5 asks if the New York City Civil Court's jurisdiction should be expanded from claims involving matters of $25,000 or less to $50,000. In Manhattan, voters cast ballots for the borough's next district attorney. Alvin Bragg, a civil rights attorney and the Democratic nominee in the race, was favored over Republican candidate and defense attorney Thomas Kenniff going into Election Day. Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance Jr. is leaving the office after serving three terms. His successor will have their hands full with several pending, high-profile cases, including a joint investigation with New York Attorney General Letitia James' office into the Trump Organization.
