The NE AG argued that only the pardon board (and not the leg) has the authority to restore voting rights, thus even the two year waiting period was unconstitutional. The NE Supreme Court heard the case in August but has yet to release a decision (and boy are they dragging their feet).

Image titled "Felony Voting Rights Update"

Text from the ACLU Nebraska reads:

"The Nebraska Supreme Court has indicated that they will not be releasing published opinions tomorrow, meaning our next chance at a decision that will impact thousands of Nebraskans’ voting rights is likely Oct. 18, the day of the online voter registration deadline. That’s also one week out from the in-person registration deadline, Oct. 25. If you have completed all terms of a felony sentence and are not yet registered, or if you’re registered and uncertain of your voting rights, please follow us and local media closely these next two weeks. We will share news as soon as we have it."
