Common Cause Indiana v. Connie Lawson, et al.
20-2877
Appeal from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division. Judge Richard Young.
Civil. Reverses preliminary injunction blocking Indiana from enforcing the 2019 amendments to Indiana Code sections 3-11.7-2, 3-11.7-3 and 3-11.7-4. Finds the amendments that prevent individual voters from petitioning state courts to extending polling hours on Election Day do not unconstitutionally burden Hoosiers’ fundamental right to vote. Rules because Indiana voters still can seek remedy in the courts under 42 U.S.C. section 1983, the amendments do not violate the Supremacy Clause. Holds even if voters have a liberty interest in statutorily established poll hours, the amendments do not deprive them of that interest. Finally, concludes that Purcell v. Gonzalez, 549 U.S. 1, 4 (2006) applies to the case at hand.
