Case Summary

In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, on April 27, 2020, the New York State Board of Elections (BOE) by unanimous vote and in spite of executive orders from the New York governor, adopted a resolution to cancel the New York presidential primary election that was slated for June 23, 2020, while still allowing down-ballot federal congressional and state elections to continue.

In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, on April 27, 2020, the New York State Board of Elections (BOE) by unanimous vote and in spite of executive orders from the New York governor, adopted a resolution to cancel the New York presidential primary election that was slated for June 23, 2020, while still allowing down-ballot federal congressional and state elections to continue. BOE's rationale was that this was in line with larger goals of avoiding unnecessary social contact, and that there was no purpose in holding a primary that would marginally increase the risk of contracting coronavirus to both voters and poll workers. This emergency action was brought forward by eight candidates running in the 2020 New York Democratic presidential primary who — on April 28, 2020, represented by Advocates for Justice and private counsel — sued BOE in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The case was assigned to Judge Analisa Torres and Magistrate Debra C. Freeman. The plaintiffs, invoking USC § 1983, alleged violations of the 1st Amendment, 14th Amendment's Due Process and Equal Protection Clause, and state law. They sought damages, an injunction reinstating the New York Democratic Presidential Primary on June 23, 2020, and attorneys' fees.

Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on May 1, 2020, correcting drafting errors and requesting a declaratory judgment that BOE lacked authority to cancel the primary. Later that same day, plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint on May 1, 2020, which named individual commissioners and directors of BOE as defendants. Otherwise, the amended complaints remained substantially similar to the original complaint. 

On May 2, 2020, plaintiffs moved for preliminary injunction to invalidate BOE's resolution, reinstate the New York Democratic presidential primary, restore plaintiffs onto the ballot, and direct that all voting take place by mail-in ballot. On May 5, 2020, the court granted the preliminary injunction by restoring the status quo ante to the BOE's resolution and requiring the primary election to be held on June 23, 2020. The court found that plaintiffs faced threat of irreparable harm for violations of their constitutional voting rights, that plaintiffs had shown a clear and substantial likelihood of success that removing the plaintiffs from the ballot deprived them of their right of association under the 1st and 14th Amendments, and that the balance of equities and public interest tipped in favor of allowing plaintiffs to compete for delegate slots and voters to express their support. 

Defendants filed an interlocutory appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on May 6, 2020. The appellate court affirmed the district court's order on May 19, 2020, finding that the defendants' arguments were without merit. 

The primary election was held on June 23, 2020, in conformity with the injunction. On September 1, 2020, the parties made a stipulation of settlement, reaching an agreement to fully and finally resolve the case by settlement without the need for further litigation, and voluntarily dismissing the case. With no other major issues to address, defendants agreed to pay $220,000 to plaintiffs' attorneys.

The case is now closed.
