  • Voting Rights in New York City: 1982–2006
    VOTING RIGHTS IN NEW YORK CITY: 1982–2006 JUAN CARTAGENA* I. INTRODUCTION TO THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT At the time of the 1982 amendments to the Voting Rights Act (VRA) and the continuation of Section 5 coverage to three counties in New York City, the city was at a major crossroads regarding faithful compliance with the mandates of the Act. Just one year earlier in the largest city in the United States, the largest municipal election apparatus in the country was brought to a screeching halt when the federal courts enjoined the Septem- ber mayoral primaries—two days before Election Day—because the city failed to obtain preclearance of new (and discriminatory) city council lines and election district changes.1 The cost of closing down the election was enormous, and a lesson was painfully learned: minority voters knew how to get back to court, the courts would not stand by idly in the face of obvious Section 5 noncompliance and business-as-usual politics would no longer be the same. Weeks later, the Department of Justice (DOJ) would not only of- ficially deny preclearance to the city council plan, but would find that its egregious disregard of the burgeoning African-American and Latino voting strength in the city had a discriminatory purpose and a discriminatory ef- fect.2 In this context, the 1982 extension of Section 5 to parts of New York City should not have seemed so anomalous to a country that continued to * General Counsel, Community Service Society.

    THE ASSEMBLY STATE OF NEW YORK ALBANY December 4, 2020 Hon. Andrew M. Cuomo Governor, State of New York Executive Chamber, State Capitol Albany, NY 12248 Dear Governor Cuomo: We urge your attention to the growing challenges that acute, intermediate and long-term care facilities, including nursing homes and those that provide care for children and adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities, across the state face concerning recruitment and retention due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Rising COVID-19 infection rates are poised to test new surge capacity plans at hospitals and long- term care facilities throughout rural, suburban and urban New York. We are now armed with a better understanding of the virus, and of treatments and interventions, than we were at the start of this pandemic. Yet statistics, unfortunately, indicate that New York could face the long-feared scenario of health facilities statewide being overrun by coronavirus patients and COVID-19-related safety measures which would hinder access to care and potentially cost lives despite breakthroughs in medical treatments for COVID-19. One of the greatest challenges for health facilities is the recruitment and retention of staff, from doctors and nurses to support staff, nurse assistants, janitorial staff and others. Many facilities faced difficulties with staff recruitment and retention prior to the start of the pandemic, proving that this is a long-term issue that the State must reckon with. The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly exacerbated the situation and we must swiftly provide a plan to remedy it. New York State must use funding provided to the State by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act to support health care staffing.
