Democracy in Focus: New York State Court of Appeals Year in Review

Harry Black, staff attorney with the State Democracy Research Initiative, reviews decisions from the the New York Court of Appeals’ last term including ‘Hoffmann’ (redistricting), ‘Stefanik’  (vote-by-mail), and ‘Amedure’ (absentee ballot law), and he also offers a preview to anticipated decisions on the horizon such as ‘Cuomo’  (constitutionality of NY’s ethics watchdog), ‘Fossella’  (noncitizen voting in local elections), and ‘Onondaga’  (constitutionality of even-year election law).
