竞选法律中心就阿拉巴马州扩大重罪选民剥夺权利的新法律提起诉讼,称其违反宪法和六个月选举规则。 Campaign Legal Center sues Alabama over new law expanding felony voter disenfranchisement, claiming it violates constitution and six-month election rule.
竞选法律中心已对阿拉巴马州的一项新法律提起诉讼,该法律扩大了导致丧失投票权的重罪名单。 The Campaign Legal Center has filed a lawsuit against a new Alabama law that expands the list of felonies resulting in loss of voting rights. 该组织认为,该法律不能阻止人们在即将到来的 11 月选举中投票,因为阿拉巴马州宪法禁止在大选后六个月内改变选举结果。 The group argues the law cannot prevent people from voting in the upcoming November election, as the Alabama Constitution prohibits election changes within six months of a general election. 诉讼称,新法律将于 10 月 1 日生效,与大多数州针对重罪犯的投票权做法“不一致”。 The lawsuit claims the new law, which has an effective date of October 1, is "out of step" with most states' voting rights practices for people with felony convictions.
