The ACLU argued that the new polling site, at an exposition center, is not accessible by public transportation and is on a route with few sidewalks. U.S. District Judge Daniel Crabtree denied the request Thursday to force Cox to reopen the Civic Center polling place, citing concerns about the suit’s timing and potential voter confusion, The Associated Press reported. Official registration certificates sent to new voters reportedly listed only the Civic Center as the official polling site, not the Expo Center. The ACLU sued the county on behalf of the League of United Latin American Citizens and 18-year-old Dodge City resident Alejandro Rangel-Lopez. “Hispanic voters are overrepresented amongst [Dodge] City residents who are burdened by the... single, inaccessible polling location,” the suit read.
