De Ambtenaren die van de verkiezing Studenten kunnen zij niet stemmen vertellen

Vrijdag, 26 September, 2008

Door Greg Gordon | McClatchy.com |

WASHINGTON - de Democraten van Colorado beschuldigden een Republikeinse provinciale ambtenaarWoensdag van verkeerd het meedelen van de Universiteit van Colorado dat de studenten van buiten de staat niet konden registreren om te stemmen als hun ouders hen als afhankelijk van hun belastingswinst eisten.

Op een nieuwsconferentie in Colorado Springs, kritiseerden de Democraten Robert Balink, ook de provinciale ambtenaar van El Paso En het registreertoestel, dat een afgevaardigde aan de Republikeinse Nationale Overeenkomst was, voor het treffen van andere maatregelen die zij zouden bevochtigen stemming door studenten hebben gezegd, die worden verondersteld om Democratische presidentiële kandidaat Barack Obama zwaar goed te keuren.

„Wanneer de verkiezingsambtenaren valse informatie uitspreiden over wie verkiesbaar om is te stemmen en te verwijderen, toevoegen niet, het krijgen plaatsen, moeten wij worden betroffen dat de in aanmerking komende kiezers hun recht op stem zullen worden ontzegd,“ bovengenoemd Klopje Waak, chairwoman van de Democratische Partij van Colorado.

Balink gaf een verklaring uit zeggend zijn bureau staatswet verkeerd had geïnterpreteerde en „verkeerd informatie publiceerde die.“ onjuist was

De acties van Balink zijn recentst van verscheidene instanties waarin de lokale verkiezingsambtenaren, met inbegrip van wat in Virginia en Zuid-Carolina, studenten van de stemming van in een jaar hebben ontmoedigd waarin de legioenen van studenten hun energie achter Obama hebben geworpen.

De ontdekking van deze beperkingen komt aangezien de Democraten meer en meer Republikeinen van het gebruiken van een serie van tactiek om Democratische kiezersturnout in de verkiezing van November te onderdrukken hebben beschuldigd.

Liz Olson, de verkiezingenmanager in de Provincie van El Paso van Colorado, zei dat het bureau „de volledige verantwoordelijkheid neemt voor wat in dat document is. Niemand vertelde ons om om het even wat binnen daar te zetten.“

Martha Tierney, een procureur voor de Democratische Partij van Colorado, zei zij e-mail aantonen die verkreeg dat het bureau van Balink een het misleiden vlieger naar het bureau van de voorzitter van de Universiteit van Colorado verzond om studenten van kiezer-registratie informatie te voorzien en zijn omloop op campus aanspoorde.

De vlieger verklaarde: „Wat dit betekent is dat als uw ouders u nog bij hun inkomstenbelastingswinst eisen, en zij indienen dat de terugkeer in een staat buiten Colorado, u niet in aanmerking komt registreren om in Colorado te stemmen of te stemmen.“

De de residentievereisten van de kiezer variëren van staat aan staat, maar moeten de waarborgen van de V.S. ontmoeten. Grondwet, bovengenoemde Jon Greenbaum, een stemrechtdeskundige met het Comité van Advocaten voor Burgerrechten in het kader van Wet. Greenbaum zei dat welke staten en provincies niet kunnen doen goedkeuren regels is die één groep verschillend kiezers dan anderen behandelen.

Greenbaum noted that Virginia’s elections board recently revised language on its Internet site that discouraged students from registering after reports of a similar episode at Virginia Tech, in Blacksburg, Va. The New York Times reported Sept. 8 that a local registrar had issued two releases that incorrectly suggested dire consequences for the university’s students who registered to vote there, including the possibility they no longer could be claimed as dependents on their parents’ tax returns.

Sujatha Jahagirdar, program director of the Student Public Interest Research Group’s New Voters Project in Washington, said she encountered similar problems when she posed as a college freshman last week and called registrar’s offices in Greenville County, S.C., home to Furman University, and York County, S.C., where Winthrop University is located.

Jahagirdar said a Greenville official asked if her parents listed her as a dependent, and when she replied in the affirmative, told her: “You should vote where your parents live.” She said a York County representative asked if she was in town for school, and when she said yes, stated flatly: “You can’t vote here.”

A caller on Wednesday got similar responses.

Told of the information imparted by his staff, Conway Belangia, Greenville County’s director of registration and elections, said that “if a staff person made a statement like that, it was an error.”

A York County official didn’t respond to calls for comment.

Belangia said, however, that if a student lives in a dormitory, he must respond to a series of questions laid out in a 1974 federal court order covering voting registration in the county. He said students must demonstrate their “intent to claim this locale as their home when they finish school.”

Jahagirdar called the counties’ policies “intimidating” and said they “send a message that young voters are not welcome in our democracy” just when they’re first enjoying the right to vote.

The flap over students’ voting rights comes after Democrats last week filed a lawsuit in Michigan, seeking a court order barring Republicans from using lists of people facing mortgage foreclosure proceedings as a basis for challenging their voting eligibility. Michigan Republicans denied using foreclosure lists to cast doubt about voters’ qualifications.

And in Ohio, a pivotal state that was mired in allegations of voting irregularities in the 2004 presidential election, Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner on Wednesday advised county election boards that foreclosure lists should not be considered proof that voters have changed residences.

“Ohioans faced with the pain and turmoil of a home foreclosure should not be targeted by the forces of disenfranchisement on Election Day,” Brunner said.
