Interesting ArticleRNC in Blatant Violation of Court Consent Decree, Says Advancement Project(US Newswire)Contact: Sabrina Williams of Advancement Project, 202-728-9557 NEWARK, N.J., Oct. 27 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Today, Advancement Project submitted a motion to intervene, reopen, and enforce the Consent Decrees reached in the case of DNC v. RNC.For more than twenty years, the Republican National Committee has repeatedly operated so-called "ballot security programs" that have sought to suppress and intimidate African-Americans and other minorities from exercising their constitutional right to vote. These illegal schemes have been previously enjoined by the Federal Court in the case of DNC v. RNC. The Decree in that case prohibits the RNC from implementing any "ballot security program" without prior court approval. That lawsuit, brought in 1981, resulted in a nationwide injunction against the RNC that is still in effect today. Contiue article: |
