SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Aug 13 – In more electoral
irregularity news, the
American Council of the Blind
sued for ADA-compliant access
to the absentee voting program
for voters with print
disabilities.
On August 13 U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Lewis J. Liman held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
In a
lengthy oral argument on a
possible preliminary
injunction, the problems of
not having a printer for those
with print disabilities was
analyzed in detail. At the
end, Judge Liman ordered the
parties to meet and confer and
submit a joint letter into the
docket by 6 pm.
When it came - after Inner
City Press had gotten
wrongfully withheld filings in
another case unsealed - the
parties said "Plaintiffs and
Defendants met to discuss
possilbe resolution for the
November General Election.
Unfortunately, parties are
unable to settle this matter
absent an order from this
Court. Respectfully, parties
await your order."
The case is
Hernandez et al v. New York
State Board of Elections et
al., 20-cv-4003 (Liman)
