On Monday Reuters reports that Massachusetts’ top court upheld a state requirement that people must register to vote 20 days before an election, ruling in a case that could impact the ability of thousands of citizens to cast ballots.

The ACLU contended the 20-day restriction disenfranchises thousands of otherwise qualified voters.
