Black Voters Matter Fund v. Raffensperger (Steve C. Jones, N.D. Ga. 1:20-cv-4869)
A preliminary-injunction motion sought remedies for voter-registration cancelations based on erroneous change-of-address data. On the one hand, the plaintiffs did not give the state’s secretary of state adequate notice of the alleged errors before filing suit. On the other hand, they had not shown that the errors discriminated against any group.
