CPR and WilmerHale File Amicus Brief Supporting the Right to Voter Assistance for Texans with Disabilities

On April 3^rd, CPR and the law firm WilmerHale filed an amicus brief in support of the right to voter assistance for people with disabilities in the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, joined by 15 other disability rights organizations. The case involves the state of Texas’ appeal of a trial court decision which found that Texas’ voter suppression law, S.B. 1, violates the rights of disabled voters, forcing them to vote without needed assistance to which they are entitled under the Voting Rights Act Section 208, or forgo voting altogether.
