Disabled Sued NYS on Absentee Voter Procedures Now State Says Fixed But June 4 Deadline

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon
BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - The Source

SDNY COURTHOUSE, Nov 27 – Jose Hernandez lives in The Bronx, and has a C-5 spinal cord injury with limited movement of his hands.

 He wants to vote, but wants privacy. He has sued the NYS Board of Elections, whose Absentee Voter system requires the use of a pen or marker.

  On May 22 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Lewis J. Liman held a hearing in these. Inner City Press covered it. 

  Judge Liman asked how fast he would have to rule. With the primary upcoming in May, fast was the answer. He set a schedule and Inner City Press wrote that it would continue to follow this case. It has.

  On May 29, the Board of Elections argued that all is fine, there is a form on its web site(s). Plaintiffs disagreed. After lengthy argument, with Judge Liman asking about the difference between requesting an absentee ballot - not by Internet - and filling one out, he ruled that the parties should immediately confer and file a letter by June 3. He sent another conference for the following day.

The case is Hernandez, et al., v. NYS Board of Elections, et al., 20-cv-4003 (Liman).
