Cardona v. Power
Cardona v. Power
Opinion of the Court
Order affirmed, without costs. (See Matter of Camacho v. Doe, 7 N Y 2d 762.)
Concur: Judges Dye, Van Voorhis, Scileppi and Bergan. Chief Judge Desmond dissents and votes to reverse in the following memorandum in which Judges Fuld and Burke concur.
Dissenting Opinion
I dissent and vote to reverse and to grant the prayer of the petition. Denial of voting rights to this competent, intelligent and reasonably well-educated and informed native-born American citizen, simply because she is unable to meet New York State’s literacy-in-English requirements, is unreasonable and unconstitutionally
Order affirmed.
