citations
Her 2009 publication, Restoring the Right to Vote (Brennan Center for Justice), was quoted at length in a recent opinion by the Iowa Supreme Court. The opinion, Chiodo v. Section 43.24 Panel, No. 14-0553, 2014 WL 1464786 (Iowa April 15, 2014), limits the meaning of “infamous crime” under the Iowa constitution, thereby reducing the number of crimes that result in the loss of the right to vote in the state (April 2014).
