Nine states have passed state voting rights acts and advocates are pushing for more as critics of the Federal Voting Rights Act of 1965 keep chipping away at that landmark law in court.
New York's Voting Rights Act has survived for now after the state's highest court ruled that the town of Newburgh, New York, does not have the legal capacity to claim that the state law violates the U.S.
Constitution.
The town is facing a lawsuit claiming that its system of electing candidates as at-large representatives of one district dilutes the collective power of Black and Hispanic voters.
The New York ruling comes as voting rights advocates around the country are keeping watch for a U.S.
Supreme Court decision that may weaken the Federal Voting Rights Act.
That decision could have ripple effects on similar state laws.
