In a substantial setback for the ACLU, a federal judge appointed by President Biden has determined that Iowa has the authority to review ballots of potential noncitizens. This verdict has sparked mixed reactions, with some advocates expressing concern about potential disenfranchisement. However, supporters of the decision contend that it ensures the integrity of Iowa’s electoral process. The legal battle over voting rights in Iowa is expected to continue, with the ACLU announcing plans to appeal this ruling.
