TROY, N.Y. â Rensselaer County Board of Elections Commissioners Jason Schofield and Edward McDonough and the Rensselaer County Board of Elections (BOE) have decided to appeal a ruling made by the Rensselaer County Supreme Court on June 7, regarding early voting sites.Â
The initial ruling by Judge Adam W. Silverman of the Rensselaer County Supreme Court said that BOEâs decision not to place a site in a centrally located area within Troy is arbitrary and capricious, and must be annulled and sided in favor of a lawsuit brought about by New York State Attorney General Letitia James, contesting the location and accessibility of the county s three early voting locations for low-income and minority communities.Â
