Federal District Court Rejects Challenges to IN Excuse-Only Absentee Ballot System


A Federal District Court has Rejected Arguments in, No. 1:20-cv-01271-JPH-DLP, that the Indiana System Violates Equal Protection or the 26th Amendment, which was made on the grounds that Older Voters can Vote without an Excuse but All Others Cannot.

Plaintiffs: BARBARA TULLY; KATHARINE BLACK; MARC BLACK; DAVID CARTER; REBECCA GAINES; ELIZABETH KMIECIAK; CHAQUITTA MCCLEARY; DAVID SLIVKA; DOMINIC TUMMINELLO; INDIANA VOTE BY MAIL, INC.; individually, and on behalf of those similarly situated.

Defendants: PAUL OKESON; S. ANTHONY LONG; SUZANNAH WILSON OVERHOLT; ZACHARY E. KLUTZ, in their Official Capacity as Members of the Indiana Election Commission; and CONNIE LAWSON, in her Official Capacity as the Indiana Secretary of State.

Plaintiffs ask the Court to enter a Preliminary Injunction that would Require the State of Indiana to Allow All Indiana Voters to Vote-by-Mail in the November 3rd, 2020 General Election. U.S. District Judge, James Patrick Hanlon, for the The Southern District of Indiana, decided it will Not Issue a Preliminary Injunction.
