A California judge ruled that a former NPR producer who had a traumatic brain injury has so far failed to demonstrate he is qualified to vote despite a new state law that makes it easier for people with developmental disabilities to keep and restore the right to cast a ballot.
San Diego County Superior Court Judge Julia C. Kelety held out the possibility that she will eventually decide that David Rector can vote in the Nov. 8 presidential election. But the judge said Rector’s conservator and fiancee, Rosalind Alexander-Kasparik, needed to provide more information to prove that is what he wants.
