Federal judge issues preliminary injunction against Alabama's Senate Bill 1, allowing blind, disabled, and illiterate voters to receive assistance in the absentee ballot process.
A federal judge has issued a preliminary injunction against Alabama's Senate Bill 1, which restricted assistance for blind, disabled, and illiterate voters in the absentee ballot process, citing violations of the Voting Rights Act. The ruling allows these voters to receive help from a person of their choice. Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall plans to appeal the decision, which affects a key provision of the law while leaving other parts intact.
