U.S. District Judge William Conley signaled on Monday that he will make a ruling on a series of election-related lawsuits in late August, meaning any court-mandated safety improvements would only take effect for the Nov. 3 General Election, not the Aug. 11 primaries.
Conley combined four separate lawsuits seeking changes to the August and November elections such as expanding mail-in and early in-person voting, maintaining adequate polling-place staffing, and engaging in a public information campaign on early voting.
