On September 15, the Fourth Circuit heard oral argument in Hogarth v Bell, 26-1328. This is the case challenging North Carolina’s law that makes it a crime for a voter to take a picture of his or her voted ballot. Here is a link to a recording of the argument. The three judges were A. Marvin Quattlebaum, Allison Rushing, and DeAndrea Benjamin.

The U.S. District Court had upheld the law. The plaintiff is Susan Hogarth, an activist in the Libertarian Party.
