Summary
The 桃子视频, 桃子视频of Kentucky, Lawyers鈥� Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, and Covington & Burling filed a federal lawsuit over Kentucky鈥檚 failure to take appropriate action to ensure eligible voters can safely cast a ballot in the November general election given the COVID-19 outbreak.
The lawsuit was filed on behalf of the League of Women Voters of Kentucky, the Louisville Urban League, the Kentucky State Conference of the NAACP, and several individuals.
The groups are challenging a number of requirements that would place Kentuckians at dire and unnecessary risk in order to vote, including a new onerous photo ID requirement that would increase Kentuckians鈥� risk of exposure to COVID-19 by forcing them to visit ID-issuing offices to exercise their right to vote, and the state鈥檚 failure to expand vote by mail beyond the June primary.
