The U.S. Senate on Monday voted to confirm Myrna Perez to serve on the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, clearing the way for the voting rights expert to join the New York-based appellate court despite Republican objections to her past advocacy.
The Democratic-controlled Senate voted 48-43 to approve Perez amid a push by the White House to install more civil rights lawyers to the federal bench and calls by progressives for greater protections for voting rights.
Schumer also backed Biden's nomination last month of Dale Ho, the leader of the voting rights project at the American Civil Liberties Union, to serve as a federal district court judge in Manhattan. At the Brennan Center, Perez advocated against Republican-backed voting restrictions enacted in Georgia and Texas this year that she said "rest on the Big Lie, the disproven notion that there was mass voter fraud in 2020."
