Fighting for safe voting options during a pandemic
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Alabama voters and voting rights organizations challenged voting laws that required witness signatures and copies of photo identification on absentee ballots and prohibited curbside voting. Plaintiffs sought to prevent enforcement of these requirements and allow curbside voting during the pandemic to protect the health and safety of voters and make voting more accessible. Plaintiffs argued these laws violated the fundamental right to vote under the First and Fourteenth Amendments, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Voting Rights Act.
