In the Senate, a key decision was made about who gets to be a judge in a part of New York State. Senators voted to confirm Elizabeth C. Coombe to be a District Judge for the Northern District of New York. This means she can now serve in this important job, making decisions on cases that come to her court.

The Democrats were the main group pushing for her to get the job, and they succeeded. The final count was 52 Senators voting in favor and 45 against. Because there were more "yes" votes than "no" votes, Elizabeth C. Coombe was officially confirmed for the position.

This vote wasn't related to changing any laws or making a new amendment—it was simply about deciding if Elizabeth C. Coombe was the right person for this judge position.
