INDIANAPOLIS -- A new federal lawsuit is challenging Indiana's new election laws centered around proof of citizenship documentation.
According to court documents filed on Tuesday in Indianapolis federal court, a group of nonpartisan voting rights organizations filed the lawsuit against Diego Morales, Indiana's Secretary of State, as well as J. Bradley King and Angela Nussmeyer, the co-directors of the Indiana Election Commission.
The groups, including the League of Women Voters of Indiana, Common Cause Indiana, the Hoosier Asian American Power organization and Exodus Refugee Immigration, claim that the new laws target specific naturalized citizens, and not those born as citizens.
