“COVID-19 restrictions threaten to curb voting at Michigan nursing homes.”

Nina Kohn, the David M. Levy Professor of Law and faculty director of online education in the College of Law, was quoted in The Detroit News article “COVID-19 restrictions threaten to curb voting at Michigan nursing homes.” Kohn, an expert on the civil rights of older persons, says that the pandemic has created a number of barriers that restrict the elderly from voting, from not being able to leave their facilities to prohibiting visits from voter registration workers.
