Supreme Court Reinstates Alabama s Ban on Curbside Voting – WSJ

By Thomas A. Smith

WASHINGTON The Supreme Court reinstated Alabama s ban on curbside voting Wednesday, blocking a lower-court order that allowed county officials to use the accommodation so that disabled citizens could cast ballots more safely during the coronavirus pandemic.

The eight-member court s conservative majority issued the order without an opinion explaining its rationale; the court s three liberals dissented.

The 5-3 decision was the latest in a wave of coronavirus-related election cases reaching the court, as voters, officials and political parties fight over voting procedures roiled by a pandemic that spreads through close contact.
