Merrill v. People First of Alabama

Summary

Justice Sotomayor, joined by Justices Breyer and Kagan, dissented from the Supreme Court’s grant of a stay of the district court’s permanent injunction that required Alabama counties to offer curbside voting for voters with disabilities. She argued that the district court’s record‑based finding that the ban violated the ADA was correct and that a stay was unwarranted. The dissent emphasizes that the injunction is a reasonable accommodation that does not disrupt state election interests.
