11:14 a.m: The following is a statement from Damon Circosta, chairman of the State Board of Elections, on today’s Board meeting:
“This morning, the five members of the State Board of Elections met in closed session with the Board’s legal counsel to discuss the Community Success Initiative v. Moore case. The Board voted unanimously to direct the Attorney General’s Office, the Board’s litigation counsel, to file a response as soon as possible to a pending motion to stay in that case. It will ask the court how to proceed under the trial court’s order. In this response, the Board will establish for the benefit of the court the urgency of the situation and timelines that should be contemplated in light of the April 22 voter registration deadline for the May 17 primary. Any voter registration applications filed by affected individuals are pending. We will take action on those following direction from the court.”
