On Oct. 15, 2024, the New York State Court of Appeals will hear arguments in a case challenging the 2021 law that dramatically upended the process for canvassing absentee ballots.  In a 3-2 decision, the Appellate Division, Third Department, held that the law in question did not violate the state constitution.  The law at issue, however, undermines the state constitution's guarantee of bipartisan administration of New York State's elections; therefore, the Court of Appeals must reverse the decision of the Appellate Division and invalidate the 2021 absentee ballot canvassing law.
