A Ropes & Gray litigation team working with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of New Hampshire filed a lawsuit on September 30, 2024 challenging HB 1569, a change to New Hampshire’s voting laws that would create unconstitutional barriers to citizens' right to vote.
Litigation & enforcement associate Patrick Roath commented on this matter, noting that “we are pleased to be working with the ACLU of New Hampshire and to represent the plaintiffs in this lawsuit seeking to vindicate their constitutionally protected rights to register to vote and access the ballot without undue hassle and burden."
The lawsuit, Coalition for Open Democracy v. Scanlan, was filed on behalf of the Coalition for Open Democracy, the League of Women Voters of New Hampshire, the Forward Foundation, and five current and future voters. Read the press release here.
