It lays out in detail what is being objected to--it's the SoS policy of flagging anyone whose identity OR citizenship information cannot be verified. They specifically rely on how this policy was applied in the 2008 elections, before the statute became effective.<br /><br />Karen Handel is going to have a tough time explaining why black voters were 60% more likely to be incorrectly flagged as non-citizens than white voters, and why Asians and Hispanics were also disproportionately flagged. I would have thought that perhaps higher new registration numbers for black voters would explain it, but the letter notes that black and white new voters registered in fairly equal numbers during the time period that was analyzed.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18339673763054572203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24847601.post-67686483196165212652009-06-01T23:07:12.336-04:002009-06-01T23:07:12.336-04:00All the reports I've read indicate this was a ...All the reports I've read indicate this was a policy in place for the last election...not SB86. However, since they both essentially require the same thing (proof of citizenship through ID & SS#), it's a good bet that SB86 won't make it through preclearance either, if that issue was left open.<br /><br />I believe the next step is an immediate direct appeal to the District of Columbia district court, or a lawsuit in that court.Pokeristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06707781319963324911noreply@blogger.com
