Press Mention

ACLU-DE: "Simply put, this is a Band-Aid."
Andrew Bernstein of the ACLU-DE reported to the Delaware Voting Rights Coalition "the good news that Delaware's early, in-person voting and permanent absentee voting laws are now back in effect ahead of the 2024 elections. ... ACLU-DE is pleased that voters who use these methods of voting will have these options in 2024, [but] we are concerned that the Court left the door open to future challenges. We believe that the decision affirms our long-term plan to amend Delaware's constitution to ensure and protect voting rights."
