Donahue v. Board of Elections Of State Of New York
November 9, 2020 Dr. Tar Uncategorized
Given that our judicial system relies on past precedent when making current rulings, it is going to be important to find relevant cases from the past whose jurist opinion could be used as a basis for rulings today.
One such case, where voters sued the state of New York for denying their 14th Amendment right to vote when the state election officials committed ballot fraud, is Donahue v. Election Board of State of New York. While this particular ruling went against the plaintiffs, the case defines the condition establishing harm and what is allowable evidence of systematic voter fraud.

I am remembering several reports, where it was stated that Rudy was careful to state that they were NOT claiming fraud. Which didn’t make sense to me then - not sure even now about it.
