Melanie Jerusalem v. Louisiana Department of State, et al.

The United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit affirmed the dismissal of Petitioner Melanie Jerusalem’s complaint against Louisiana’s Department of State and Secretary of State on standing grounds based on Petitioner’s alleged failure to sustain an injury in fact caused by the State of Louisiana’s past and continued use of vulnerable electronic voting machines in Federal elections. THE QUESTION PRESENTED IS: Did the Fifth Circuit err in ruling a registered Louisiana voter for a federal election sustained insufficient injury in fact under Article III of the United States Constitution to grant standing despite welldocumented vulnerabilities found in the Louisiana electronic voting machines previously used by her and slated for use in upcoming federal elections in which she intends to vote?
