A midlevel New York appeals court will decide whether challenges to canvassed ballots in close political races should continue to be heard by state judges in civil courts. Fordham Law Adjunct Professor Jerry H. Goldfeder, director of Fordham Law School’s Voting Rights and Democracy Project, spoke with the New York Law Journal ahead of the Aug. 15 arguments.
Jerry H. Goldfeder, senior counsel at Cozen O’Connor, and director of Fordham Law School’s Voting Rights and Democracy Project, commented “When the law presumes that a voter’s ballot should be counted, that’s a statute that ought to be upheld.”
