• Rnc in Blatant Violation of Court Consent Decree, Says Advancement Project

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.

• Advancement Project: Know the Rules and Regulations of New Jersey's Voting Requirements

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The following was released today by Advancement Project regarding the rules and regulations of New Jersey's voting requirements: There is no uniform standard on how states should handle provisional ballots. Some states allow provisional ballots to be counted even if they are cast in the wrong polling place, but at least 16 states, including New Jersey, throw the ballots out if they are filed in the wrong precinct. Voters are often not informed that they are in the wrong precinct and that their vote will not be counted.

• Statement by Advancement Project Regarding Discriminatory Felon Purge List by the State of Florida

WASHINGTON, July 15 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Following is a statement by the Advancement Project regarding a discriminatory felon purge list by the State of Florida: To settle a federal lawsuit brought by Advancement Project and other civil rights organizations, Florida agreed to clean up the civil rights violations we saw in 2000 when thousands of eligible voters were wrongly identified as having a felony conviction barring them from the polls. Now we're discovering new errors in the administration of Florida's undemocratic practices aimed at once again denying citizens the right to vote. Instead of Gov. Bush and other Florida officials taking responsibility for the inaccuracy of a list that the state created from its own data, they want to shift the blame to civil rights groups stating tha...
