26th Amendment Circuit Split

Gerard N. Magliocca

The Fourth Circuit today held that a South Carolina law restricting "no-excuse" absentee mail-in ballots to voters 65 and older violates the 26th Amendment. This decision stands in contrast to other circuits that upheld related laws during the pandemic. The Supreme Court has never heard a 26th Amendment case. This could be the Term where that silence ends.
