VoteAmerica v. Schwab (Amicus)
Civic engagement organizations play a critical role in promoting the right to vote, including by helping people register to vote. Kansas passed a law restricting those civic engagement efforts, prohibiting organizations from sending pre-filled applications for mail ballots to voters. The Kansas law is part of a nationwide trend of restricting the right to vote by imposing burdens on civic engagement organizations.
