A New York state appeals court on Jan. 30 upheld a state law aimed at protecting the voting rights of minorities, reversing a lower court decision.

Defendants in the case failed to establish that New York’s Voting Rights Act of 2022 infringed on their constitutional rights, judges in the Appellate Division of the New York Supreme Court said in the ruling.
