A coalition of activist groups in Alabama has filed a lawsuit to challenge a new law that places restrictions on payment for handling ballots. The law, known as SB1, prohibits paying or receiving payment for distributing or collecting ballot applications.
The activists argue that this ban on payment could hinder the voting capacity of disabled and elderly individuals who need assistance obtaining necessary documents. The lawsuit was filed by the Alabama State Conference of the NAACP, Alabama Disabilities Advocacy Program, Greater Birmingham Ministries, and the League of Women Voters of Alabama.
