Federal Court Ruling:  Today a Federal Judge issued a preliminary injunction prohibiting election officials from 'rejecting' original voter registration applications because the original voter ID card was returned by the postal service as undeliverable.  You must immediately cease marking records "Reject - ID Card Returned."  Instead, such records must be marked "Verify - Confirm Address".

Until further notice, please keep track of all returned 'original' voter ID cards and corresponding ?original' voter registration applications.

The voter registration record of a voter whose 'original' voter ID card is returned by the post office as undeliverable must be treated the same way as the record of a voter whose 'duplicate' voter ID card is returned as undeliverable.

We are reviewing the Judge's Order and will provide more detailed information to you in the next few days.
