ARLINGTON, Va., Oct. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Several leading national advocacy groups, including the American Diabetes Association (ADA), the nation's leading organization for all people living with diabetes, AARP and AARP Foundation, filed an amicus brief today in the U.S. Supreme Court to help defend the rights of older Alabama voters and those with chronic illnesses, such as diabetes. This follows a historic federal court ruling in Alabama earlier this month prioritizing the health and safety of voters living with chronic conditions. In a move demonstrating disregard for medically vulnerable Alabamians, Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill and the other defendants appealed the ruling of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11(th) Circuit, prompting the ADA, along with AARP and AARP Foundation, to file this brief with the Supreme Court in response.
