344 F. Supp. 3d 1285
*1286Zal Kotval Shroff, ACLU Foundation of Kansas, Wichita, KS, for Plaintiffs., Bradley J. Schlozman, Mitchell L. Herren, Jeffrey M. Kuhlman, Hinkle Law Firm LLC, Wichita, KS, for Defendant., Daniel D. Crabtree, United States District Judge *1287Plaintiffs Alejandro Rangel-Lopez and League of United Latin American Citizens, Kansas, filed this lawsuit against Deborah Cox, Ford County Clerk, asserting that Ms. Cox's decision to move Dodge City, Kansas's only polling location from the Civic Center to the Western Bank Expo Center (located about one mile outside the city limits) imposes a substantial burden on all voters and thus violates their rights under the First and Fourteenth Amendments.1 When filing their Complaint, plaintiffs also filed a Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. Doc. 4. Plaintiffs' motion seeks a temporary restraining order mandating defendant to: (1) reopen the polling location at the Civic Center in Dodge City, Kansas, or in a building within the city limits; and (2) notify all registered voters via mail that they can vote either at the Expo Center or the new location. Id. at 3. At the motion hearing on November 1, 2018, plaintiffs refined their request, explaining that it asks the court either to enjoin defendant to: (1) open two polling locations on Election Day-one at the Civic Center and another one at the Expo Center; or (2) move all voting to a single polling location at the Civic Center. For reasons explained below, the court denies plaintiffs' motion., For the last 20 years, the Civic Center has served as the only polling location in Dodge City, Kansas. On September 11, 2018, Ford County Clerk Deborah Cox-the County's chief election officer-unilaterally decided to move the polling location after learning that the city was planning construction in the vicinity of the Civic Center. Ms. Cox determined that the Western Bank Expo Center (\Expo Center\") was the best available location for a temporary polling site because it is owned by Ford County
