What are an example of cases that relate to this one?
Brady Milton is a 17-year-old who recently graduated high school and pre-registered to vote. His state, one of many with very low voter turnout, passes a new policy. To increase turnout, elections will be held via Internet. Each registered voter will receive a unique passcode to log in to the voting site and cast a ballot during a two-week period up until the election deadline. Brady receives a passcode since he pre-registered and his 18th birthday is on Election Day.
Brady has no Internet access unless he goes to the library. He has to work all of Election Day, despite it being his birthday. Since he has the passcode, he goes to the library and votes the day before. He receives two error messages. One says his vote is invalid because he is not of age to vote. The second says his passcode has been revoked due to a security concern and he will need to obtain a new one if he is eligible. Brady goes to the local elections office for help. The clerk says only the state-level office has access to the codes. It will be mailed to him on his 18th birthday, and he will have to wait to receive it. This will obviously be too late for him to vote.
Brady claims that the new elections policy disenfranchised him, or deprived him of his right to vote. He says that the policy is unconstitutional.
Family Law
Vicky Jones is a 16-year-old who wants to be legally emancipated from her parents. She wants the status of a legal adult. Vicky has been saving money from babysitting and now her job at a local supermarket. She used the money to leave her parents' home and move in with a friend, against her parents' wishes. The police returned her to her parents. Vicky argues that since she is old enough to have a job she should be able to be independent if she wishes. When asked if her parents were ever abusive or neglectful, she answers no. However, she claims they have failed to teach her about budgeting, cooking, and house repair in order to keep her dependent on them. She says they focus too much on her younger siblings and want to keep her around to take advantage of her as a babysitter. They do not want her to work for pay or become independent, she claims.
