Nebraska's conservative Supreme Court finally overruled the GOP secretary of state after he unilaterally blocked 10,000s of voters who've served their felony sentences from registering in July. But the court waited until just 2 days before the online registration deadline & 9 days before in-person
Nebraska's Supreme Court effectively helped the GOP secretary of state disenfranchise voters by waiting for months to rule just before the registration deadline. Many of them may not know they regained their rights until it's too late to vote in 2024, when NE has competitive Senate & House races
So they have to reapply? The secretary of state won't process the previously denied registrations?
