Latino civil rights group [LULAC] sues over Iowa's new election law

[SharonClark]

I'm so proud LULAC is working with Marc Elias on this lawsuit.

A Latino civil rights group, backed by Democratic attorneys, says it has filed a lawsuit challenging a new Iowa law shortening the state's early and Election Day voting, among other restrictions.

Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds signed the law Monday, saying it would create transparency, accountability and give Iowans greater confidence in their elections.

But the suit argues that the law, which cuts the number of early voting days by 9 and gives Iowans one less hour to vote on Election Day, violates the Iowa Constitution's protections for the right to vote, free speech, free assembly and equal protection.
. . .
"Taken as a whole, the bill targets and restricts virtually every aspect of the voting process — registering to vote, requesting and submitting absentee ballots and even in-person voting on Election Day," the lawsuit states.
