As the presidential election nears, a number of important voting law cases are still up in the air. And that can be confusing — for voters trying to figure out what they do or don’t need to cast their ballots, for election officials trying to figure out how to run elections, and for politicians trying to make sure supporters get out and vote.
Here’s a brief guide provided by National Public Radio via WAMU on where some of the big cases stand, as of the end of June. More rulings are expected, although courts are reluctant to make major voting law changes too close to Election Day.
Referenced states are:
North Carolina;
Texas;
Ohio;
Wisconsin;
Kansas;
Virginia.
