11th Circuit looks for voter intimidation in 2020 election challenges by conservatives
ATLANTA (CN) — National voting rights group Fair Fight and Georgia voters urged a federal appeals court Tuesday to overturn a ruling finding a conservative vote-monitoring group did not unlawfully intimidate voters.
The 11th Circuit expressed concern that the lower court may not have fully analyzed whether Texas-based True The Vote and its president Catherine Engelbrecht violated the Voting Rights Act by "attempting" to intimidate voters.
"This is an open-and-shut appeal," True the Vote's attorney, Jake Evans, told the court.
"No, it's not," U.S. Circuit Court Judge Adalberto Jordan replied.
"I think the district court committed legal error, not factual error, with regards to the attempt claim," the Barack Obama appointee added.
