MAJOR VICTORY IN LAWSUIT AGAINST TEXAS ANTI-VOTER LAW, S.B. 1
Judge rules in favor of civil rights groups, stating a provision of Senate Bill 1 violate the First and Fourteenth Amendments
SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS - A federal court ruled Saturday against a key provision of Texas’ anti-voter law Senate Bill 1 in a victory for voting rights in the state.
The lawsuit, filed in 2021 by the Texas Civil Rights Project, American Civil Liberties Union, the ACLU of Texas, Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund, Disability Rights Texas, and the law firm Jenner & Block LLP, challenged numerous provisions of the bill, including that its prohibition against certain interactions in the presence of a ballot violates the First and Fourteenth Amendments. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of the League of Women Voters of Texas, Register, Educate, Vote, & Use your Power - Texas (REV UP Texas), and OCA Greater Houston.
