U.S. District Court Enjoins New Mississippi Law that Restricted Who Could Assist a Disabled Voter

On July 25, U.S. District Court Judge Henry T. Wingate, a Reagan appointee, enjoined a new Mississippi law that restricts who can assist a disabled voter in the absentee process. The federal Voting Rights Act says a disabled person can choose anyone to provide assistance except an agent of that voter’s employer or union.

But the new Mississippi law says no one can assist a disabled voter except a family member, household members, caregivers, or employees of the U.S. postal service or employees of the elections office. Here is the decision in Disability Rights Mississippi v Fitch, s.d., 3:23cv-350. Thanks to several people for this news.
