Nebraska Secretary of State says RNC lawsuit over state election law is 'a little baffling'

[ahnakneemoose]

1. Hello Omaha Steve: I am not a Nebraskan; however...

...I thought breaking out a paragraph in your article might help with general understanding. My reading tells me that the person (or persons) to whom this might apply, would have ALREADY registered to vote (in Nebraska) BEFORE enlisting in the military.

The RNC (joined in the lawsuit by Lancaster voters J. Riggins and P. Dingman) objects to part of state law that says:

(1) A person who is the age of an elector

NOTE: In Nebraska, the minimum age to be an elector and register to vote is 18 years old. However, a 17-year-old is permitted to register and vote in primary elections if they will turn 18 on or before the date of the general election in November.

(2) And a citizen of the U.S. residing outside the U.S.

(3) Who has never resided in the U.S.

(4) Who has not registered to vote in any other state of the U.S.

(5) And who has a parent registered to vote within this state

(6) Shall be eligible to register to vote and vote in one county in which either one of his or her parents is a registered voter.
