Georgia Voting Rights Groups Win Injunctive Relief in Absentee Ballot Cases

On October 24, U.S. District Court Judge Leigh Martin May said she will issue an injunction on October 25 in the two absentee ballot cases, Martin v Kemp, 1:18cv-4776, and Georgia Muslin Voter Project v Kemp, 1:18cv-4789. She hasn’t issued the injunctions yet because she wants to give the state a chance to comment on the details. UPDATE: on October 25, the final 4-page order was released; see it here.

One case involves the process by which election officials compare the signature on a voter registration application against a voter’s signature on a request for an absentee ballot. The other case involves checking the signature on a voter registration application against the mailed ballot, when it arrives to be counted. The injunction will protect voters whose applications or ballots have been rejected. If either is rejected, the voter must be informed promptly, so the problem can be cured. Thanks to Rick Hasen for this news. Here is the 31-page order handed down on October 24.
