SCOTUS: Crawford and Kentucky
This morning, the Supreme Court will hear arguments in Crawford v. Marion County Election Board (regarding voter ID requirements) and Kentucky Retirement Systems v. EEOC (on age discrimination in retirement benefits).
ACS has made materials available regarding voter ID requirements. This guest blog post previews the case. Last week, ACS held a press briefing that discussed Indiana's voter ID law and the arguments advanced by each side. (Video) (Video Excerpts). In October, ACS held a panel discussion that explored whether voter ID laws prevent fraud or suppress the vote. SCOTUSBlog notes that Paul Smith, Chair of ACS' Board of Directors, is arguing for the petitioner.
ACSBlog also has a guest blog post on Kentucky Retirement Systems v. EEOC, which explores the application of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) to the design of retirement plans.
