More on Ohio Registration Lawsuit

The complaint in Project Vote v. Blackwell, described in this post yesterday, may be found here. It was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio. Plaintiffs include Project Vote, the American Association of People with Disabilities, Common Cause, and People for the American Way. A press release on the case asserts that the “groups have all planned voter registration drives in coming months that are now threatened by Blackwell’s rule.” They challenge the rule under the First and Fourteenth Amendments, Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, and the National Voter Registration Act. Plaintiffs are represented by Perkins Coie, the Brennan Center, the McTigue Law Group, People for the American Way Foundation, and the Advancement Project.
