Supreme Court Denies Review of Challenge to New York Election Law

[RandySF]

The United States Supreme Court has denied review of the state court challenge to New York's Even Year Election Law (EYEL). This clears the way for a coalition of counties, local candidates, and voters to pursue their federal constitutional claims against the law in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York.

The denial of certiorari by the Supreme Court removes a key obstacle that had been delaying the federal case against the EYEL. Plaintiffs, represented by Brewer, Attorneys & Counselors, argue the law is unconstitutional and are seeking expedited resolution of their claims.

The state had been using the petition for review of the state court proceedings to interfere with the federal case. With that strategy now exhausted, the plaintiffs can move forward with their federal claims, which they say have never been heard on the merits.

On March 23, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court denied review of the state court challenge to New York's Even Year Election Law.

1. The tax payers here pay people to work the polls

its costs keep rising....when you add in other elections school board, etc. At one time they changed the terms of office in many towns from two to 4 yrs, then people realized they might want to get rid of some sooner. Some positions are at two years.
