Absurd. Indiana exempts voters age 65+ from the mail voting excuse requirement. 26thAm says: "The right of citizens ... to vote shall not be denied or abridged on account of age"
Same logic on race would violate 15th Amendment & lead to Jim Crow if carried to its logical extreme https://twitter.com/chris__nardi/status/1313593030767792132

I repeat, a federal court just let Indiana GOP ignore the 26th Amendment using logic that if applied to race would no exaggeration bring back Jim Crow policies!This is a huge attack on the right to vote. 15th, 19th, & 26th Amendments have near-identical language by design! https://twitter.com/chris__nardi/status/1313596478699573254
This is the 2nd federal appeals circuit to make such an outrageous ruling in recent months. The 5th Circuit did the same exact thing over Texas' requirement of an excuse only for absentee voters under age 65. The current SCOTUS could gut the 26th Amendment if it reaches them https://twitter.com/PoliticsWolf/status/1313604155580137473
Donald Trump is not an abberation but the mere culmination of decades of Republican strategy to restrict voting rights for their opponents. Two of the three federal appellate judges who signed off on this ruling were appointed by Reagan & only one by Trump https://twitter.com/PoliticsWolf/status/1313604155580137473?s=20
