Abdul Kallon also said Alabama could not forbid local officials from allowing ‘curbside’ voting during the Coronavirus pandemic.
... the Supreme Court blocked the district court ruling in a 5-4 decision along ideological lines at least until an appeals process is resolved.
The case deals with Alabama’s July 14 runoff election, which was postponed from March due to the pandemic and includes a Republican Senate primary between onetime U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions and former college football coach Tommy Tuberville.
This is why we need four more years of patriotic judicial appointments - to stop the Obama judges from legislating from the bench.
Abdul is a common local name in Alabama.
Bubba Abdul, they call him.
This is an amazing ruling if the courts can no longer stop voter ID... especially if it can be applied with absentee & mail-ins.

Yes this might be the victory we have been waiting for and praying for. It looks that good.
Born in Freetown, Sierra Leone, Kallon earned an Artium Baccalaureus degree from Dartmouth College in 1990. He earned a Juris Doctor in 1993 from the University of Pennsylvania Law School,

The adjective “Huge” should be reserved for when the SC starts restricting/overturning abortion.
Curbsise is needed sometimes: I shattered my ankle, had my leg and ankle in an external fixator, in lots of pain, bedridden, had a friend drive me to the polls and while waiting outside in his vehicle, he got a poll watcher to bring me a ballot and I voted and gave it back to the poll watcher (another poll watcher was watching), and then I took more pain meds and was out.
One down, forty-nine to go.
Do voter ID laws suppress the black vote. If you have not seen this one, it is a really good watch on the subject.
Racist liberals on parade.
Voter ID is Racist.
Showing ID to buy Cigarettes is Racist, especially if you are buying Newports or Kools.
Showing ID to buy Liquor is Racist, especially if you are buying Colt 45 or Old English 800 Malt Liquor.
Don’t even ask me about showing ID to buy a Hi Point .380...
The problem is that the states that enact...or try to enact...voter ID are the ones that don’t really need it.
This is good news, however hasn’t there been a couple of decisions from the SCOTUS regarding voter ID that have essentially sided with whatever law the State has passed? Unless I am mistaken, and I might be, isn’t this really going to lead to blues States allowing anyone and everyone to vote with no ID requirement what so ever? The EC will even things out (for now), but the combination of lack voter laws and ballot harvesting may lead to Democrats holding the house indefinitely.
Now if only they’d do the same for North Carolina. We voted for and passed Voter ID but a federal judge claimed to be able to read what was in the hearts of voters - racism....natch! - and thus invalidated our democratic vote.
Even Roberts?
Thank God...
