ADF joins legal battle to defend rights of voters in DCALLIANCE DEFENSE FUND NEWS RELEASE ADF joins legal battle to defend rights of voters in DC Lawsuit filed on behalf of Pastor Harry Jackson, others argues Board of Elections WASHINGTON — Attorneys with the Alliance Defense Fund filed suit Wednesday against the District of Columbia Board of Elections and Ethics for precluding the right of citizens in the district to vote for or against the definition of marriage. The board determined Tuesday that a citizen initiative that would allow voters to either uphold or reject the longstanding definition of marriage as the union of one man and one woman is not a proper subject for the ballot because of a law passed by the D.C. Council. ADF and Stand4MarriageDC attorneys argue that the board’s reasoning is invalid. Case Name: Jackson v.
