On March 16, a lawsuit was filed against the City of East Lansing on behalf of Hagan Realty Inc. by the Thomas Moore Society. The suit was filed over the claim that the city was violating the landlords’ First Amendment rights by compelling them to provide new tenants with voter registration information. After a closed meeting with the city council on March 21, the council unanimously voted 5-0 to suspend the ordinance.
