Judge maintains injunction against key part of Alabama absentee ballot law
A federal judge denied Alabama's request to stay an injunction against a law limiting assistance with absentee ballots.
Chief U.S. District Judge David Proctor stated the law’s restrictions on gifts and payments are unenforceable for blind, disabled, or illiterate voters.
Proctor emphasized that the Voting Rights Act guarantees that these voters can receive help from a person of their choosing, asserting Alabama's limits are unjustified.
