A federal appeals panel has upheld an order requiring New York City’s Board of Elections to enact a “comprehensive remedial plan” to make its polling places accessible to people with disabilities.
Second Circuit Judge Denny Chin (See Profile) wrote the opinion in Disabled in Action v. Board of Elections, 12-4412, handed down Wednesday. The decision, which was joined by Judges Jose Cabranes (See Profile) and Peter Hall (See Profile), affirmed an order by Southern District Judge Deborah Batts (NYLJ, Oct. 22, 2012).
