NY Times voting story

 From a NY Times story (HERE):

This year, Tennessee and Alabama banned the use of registration forms that are pre-filled with voters’ names and other details to make registering easier. Alabama also banned giving anyone cash or a gift for registering voters, as did Missouri in 2022. (In Missouri, a state court will hear arguments next month on whether to lift an injunction that has kept the law from taking effect there.)

“If the League of Women Voters pays people for parking or travel to get to a voter registration site, or gives them a free T-shirt or free lunch, are they being paid?” asked Denise Lieberman, the general counsel of the Missouri Voter Protection Coalition, who is representing the league and the N.A.A.C.P. in a suit against the law. “It’s unclear.”
