South Carolina Progressive Network Education Fund v. Andino (Mary Geiger Lewis, D.S.C. 3:20-cv-3503)
Two days before South Carolina’s voter-registration deadline, a voter-registration organization filed a federal complaint seeking an extension of the deadline to accommodate the social distancing made necessary by the global infectious Covid-19 pandemic. One week later, the district judge denied the organization immediate relief, because the suit had been brought too short a time be-fore the election.
