Legal Updates April-7-2016


Kansas: The League of Women Voters of Kansas has joined a Federal class action lawsuit that seeks to overturn a state law requiring voters to show proof of U.S. citizenship in order to register.

North Dakota: U.S. District Judge Daniel Howland has refused to throw out a lawsuit that alleges that North Dakota’s voter ID law is unfair and unconstitutional. The complaint was filed in January by seven members of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa.

Ohio: The American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio, on behalf of Ohio A. Phillip Randolph Institute and Northeast Ohio Coalition for the Homeless has filed suit against Secretary of State Jon Husted over how the state removes inactive voters from the rolls. The suit argues that the state is wrong to assume voters are inactive because they have moved.

Washington: The Yakima City Council is expected to drop its appeal of the American Civil Liberties Union voting rights lawsuit that changed city elections last year. If that happens, Yakima will owe more than $1.8 million in legal fees and costs to the ACLU as ordered by a Federal judge.
