An Amendment Like Some Others - Special Guest Vikram D. Amar

Voting rights are in the news.  The state and federal governments have sought to weigh in and intervene on election laws, as we have seen in previous cycles.  This time, a number of states have passed laws that address mail-in or absentee voting, but in doing so, what seems on its surface to be addressing some needs of seniors may in fact be more constitutionally questionable than first meets the eye. And in so doing, the states are implicating the 26th amendment.  A circuit split has developed and as a result, the Supreme Court may get involved and this modern amendment may get its first case before the court.  We bring in the expert on such things:  Professor Vik Amar, who has already published a new article on these questions in recent days.  The “brothers-in-law” are at it again, and we are all the beneficiaries.  CLE credit is available for lawyers and judges from podcast.njsba.com.
