The League of Women Voters and two prisoners’ rights groups are suing election officials in California over the rights of tens of thousands of current and former prisoners to vote. The state’s new realignment law has ended parole for many ex-convicts and sent lower-level offenders to county jails instead of state prisons, where they are barred from voting. Plaintiffs say more than 85,000 people who are no longer in state prison or on parole should be allowed to vote in the state’s June primary. The suit challenges a state memo that said those sentenced to jail or supervision under realignment are not eligible to vote.
