Question

I need some help with something, but I was not sure where to post it because there does not seem to be any category here for law. But could someone please help? I could really use it

Answer 1

About law, I think that'll fall into the general knowledge section, @Paki. :P

But you may also ask it in History. But please, by all means, ask the question. I'd be happy to assist you with the knowledge I bestow. xD

Answer 2

Thank you so much! this is for a practice project I am doing for a class. Give me one sec to type it up

Answer 3

Okay. I'll try my best.

Answer 4

Brady Milton is a 17-year-old who recently graduated high school and pre-registered to vote. His state, one of many with very low voter turnout, passes a new policy. To increase turnout, elections will be held via Internet. Each registered voter will receive a unique passcode to log in to the voting site and cast a ballot during a two-week period up until the election deadline. Brady receives a passcode since he pre-registered and his 18th birthday is on Election Day.

Brady has no Internet access unless he goes to the library. He has to work all of Election Day, despite it being his birthday. Since he has the passcode, he goes to the library and votes the day before. He receives two error messages. One says his vote is invalid because he is not of age to vote. The second says his passcode has been revoked due to a security concern and he will need to obtain a new one if he is eligible. Brady goes to the local elections office for help. The clerk says only the state-level office has access to the codes. It will be mailed to him on his 18th birthday, and he will have to wait to receive it. This will obviously be too late for him to vote.

Brady claims that the new elections policy disenfranchised him, or deprived him of his right to vote. He says that the policy is unconstitutional.
I need to write a professional opinion on this, pretending to be a lawyer at a major firm. I also have to give two different cases that relate to this one, that are similar. The part that I am mainly having trouble with right now is finding cases that could relate to this.

Answer 5

Dear Mr. Milton,

We are very sorry that you have went through this. We are trying out best to fix this case.

What is your hypothesis on this, why do you think it got denied? Do you think someone has tried to pull a trick on you of sorts? If so, please contact me at...



I'm not so sure. :P This is hard. I tried my best, @Pi123. :P Sorry if it's not what you were looking for...

Answer 6

No its alright :) I know how to format my opinion and everything, I just don't know how to find cases related to this. I tried using the resources my school gave me, but I came up with nothing. Thank you for taking the time out to help me :) I really appreciate it.
