(WNY News Now) – New York – Governor Kathy Hochul hails the Court of Appeals’ decision to uphold the Early Mail Voter Act as a win for democratic integrity.

In a recent statement, Governor Kathy Hochul praised the Court of Appeals’ ruling that upholds the Early Mail Voter Act. She emphasized the historical struggle to protect voting rights and the ongoing need to eliminate barriers to voting.

“Generations of Americans fought to secure and protect the right to vote, and we have a responsibility to continue removing the barriers that persist today that prevent far too many people from exercising that right. Today’s ruling is a significant victory for democracy and another loss for those who seek to disenfranchise New Yorkers and undermine access to the ballot.”
