To Please or Not to Plead

A state judge has thrown out a lawsuit filed by the ACLU. The suit questioned how the state is removing convicted felons from the voter rolls. I'm not sure which is the worse part about this: the convicted felons who sued before even trying to register (they didn't know if their crime disqualified them from voting) or the judge for throwing the case out when clearly there is a need for a better idea about which crimes are disqualifying.
