 Two of the three judges who heard Afroyim's appeal found the district court's analysis and affirmation of "Perez" to be "exhaustive and most penetrating".The third judge expressed serious reservations regarding the viability of "Perez" and suggested that Afroyim might have obtained a different result if he had framed his case differently, but decided to concur (albeit reluctantly) in the majority's ruling.After losing his appeal to the Second Circuit, Afroyim asked the Supreme Court to overrule the precedent it had established in "Perez", strike down the foreign voting provision of the Nationality Act as unconstitutional, and decide that he was still a United States citizen.
