人権のグループは政府高官を訴える
金曜日、2008年4月25日
国民のグループからの弁護士が表すドングリは投票、デモおよび弁護士を写し出すか。 法律の下の人権のための委員会はまた、選挙が権限よりよくローカル公共の援助のオフィスに指示する必要があることを言う。 訴訟は従来の政治口論のall the上音を運び、少数および貧乏人と同盟しているグループを凹めるか。 だれ普通細い民主党か。 共和党管理の主部門に対して。 ロビンCarnahan、ミズーリ国務長官か。選挙および民主党員のsの権力当局は被告として、示されない。 原告はCarnahanがずっと問題で有用であることを言う。 ミズーリはミシガン州、ノースカロライナおよびニューメキシコを使用した投票のグループのための最も最近の戦場だけである。 2006年に、プロジェクトの投票および他はオハイオ州の役人を訴えた。 運転免許証のオフィスからの有権者登録の適用は近年着実に残った。 しかし国中の公共の援助機関の登録は米国に従って、落ちた。 選挙の援助の任務。 ミズーリでは、それらのオフィスは多くを1996年の選挙周期の143,000の登録適用扱った。 2006周期によって、その図は少数により16,000にほぼ90%減らした。 「それらの人々選挙過程で」、は属するブライアンMellor、プロジェクトの投票の弁護士を言った。 「中央政府法律のポイントだったか。 含みなさい皆を」。 Deborahスコットのスーツで名前を挙げられる上の役人ミズーリの社会事業ディレクターはことを州主張するか。sの公共の援助のオフィスは中央政府規則に従ってあった。 スコットか。s補助1月カーターは前に巧妙な登録キャンペーン減少に今導かれた年その水曜日を提案した。 “Once you?ve fished in a pool and caught most of the fish, the remaining fish are going to be limited,” Carter said. Carter also said aid offices see lower foot traffic today ? and register fewer people ? because clients can apply for services online and over the phone. Mellor countered that the federal law didn?t distinguish between public aid services offered in person or online. And activists say they spot-checked almost a dozen offices in the St. Louis and Kansas City area and found that none offered voter registration materials with applications for public aid. Three didn?t even provide registration forms when asked, the activists said. The lawsuit also contends that local election authorities should be stepping in. Jerry Wamser, an attorney for the St. Louis Elections Board, and Charles Renner, an attorney for the Kansas City board, both said they would review the suit but declined to comment further. Charlene Davis, the Republican elections director for Jackson County, argued that her office had no authority to oversee public aid agencies. “Within their offices, we have no control,” Davis said. She said her office did conduct initial training sessions with social service workers, who resisted the federal requirements. “There was a definite attitude problem,” Davis said. “They felt that they were doing our work.” The dispute goes back to 2006, when Project Vote lawyers and others first approached Carnahan, who followed up in meetings, phone calls and e-mails with the public aid agencies. In response to the lawsuit, Carnahan spokesman Ryan Hobart issued a statement: “It?s disappointing that, despite the wide-ranging efforts we have taken, all eligible Missourians might not have been given their legally required opportunity to register to vote.” Attorneys for the activists also wrote directly to Scott in August 2007 with their complaints, offering to meet with state officials. Alternatively, they warned they could file a lawsuit, according to letters provided to the Post-Dispatch. Scott wrote back denying the allegations, defending the department and asking for more specifics; she also referred future contact to a state lawyer. Carter, Scott?s assistant, suggested the lawsuit was an insincere way to achieve that goal. She also questioned ACORN?s credibility, noting that several employees were indicted last year on allegations involving bogus registrations. Mellor said ACORN shouldn?t be held responsible for the misconduct of low-paid contractors. Have Your Say: Civil rights groups sue state officials Please read our posting guidelines before posting.
