Re: PRIMER FOR THE PRESS ON VOTING, PROTECTING VOTING RIGHTS, VOTER
REGISTRATION
Date: October 14, 2008
Recent press coverage about voter registration issues has obscured key facts
about the American electorate and the problems of the American voting
system. This memo outlines important details about: who votes in America,
the obstacles to voting, the history of voter suppression, and groups
registering voters. Additionally, recent reports are linked below.
*"Now many of our Christians have what I call the goo-goo syndrome — good
government. They want everybody to vote. I don't want everybody to vote.
Elections are not won by a majority of people, they never have been from the
beginning of our country and they are not now. As a matter of fact, our
leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes
down."
- *Paul Weyrich, Founder of the Heritage Foundation and McCain Supporter [
1980 <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GBAsFwPglw>]**
* *
*Key Facts On Who Votes in America:*
· *Only half of America votes*. In 2004,
56%<http://www.fec.gov/pubrec/fe2004/federalelections2004.pdf>of the
voting population of America turned out to vote. [
http://www.fec.gov/pubrec/fe2004/federalelections2004.pdf]
· Income and race lead factors in Americans likelihood to vote.
· Americans making more than
$100,000/year<http://www.census.gov/prod/2008pubs/p20-557.pdf>
*are the most likely group to show up at the polls*. Those making $20,000 a
year or less are *the least likely to vote*. [
http://www.census.gov/prod/2008pubs/p20-557.pdf]
· The US doesn't have a problem with *too *many people showing up to
vote. In fact, the US places the heaviest burden on voters to register
where many nations automatically enroll eligible voters.
· White voters are more likely than Black, Hispanic or Asian voters
to be registered, and to vote.
http://www.census.gov/prod/2008pubs/p20-557.pdf
*Key Facts and Reports on obstacles to voter registration:*
· According to a new
report<http://www.commoncause.org/atf/cf/%7bfb3c17e2-cdd1-4df6-92be-bd4429893665%7d/VOTINGIN2008.PDF>out
from Common Cause, there are "burdensome restrictions" on voting.
· NYU's Brennan Center: "*Ineffective election administration,
unaccountable purges of voter registration lists *and insecure electronic
systems *threaten to disenfranchise countless American citizens*." More

· *Voter** Registration in VA sets records (WaPo online 10/02/08)*
"In September, the board reports, 106,150 people registered to vote in the
state; combined with deaths and people moving out of the state, the net
increase for the month was 101,737. That is more than double the number of
new registrants in August. . ."

Sentinel 9/25/08)*
"Florida's elections office says it has been swamped by thousands of
would-be voters and needs counties statewide to help handle the flood . . .
it received 25,000 new registrations in one day this week -- and "will need
to forward many of these applications to the counties of registrants to
ensure they are timely processed.""

*For Years Republicans have worked on voter suppression*
- At least *5 of the 12 District Attorney's sacked by Rove and Gonzalez
were considered "not aggressive enough in prosecuting "voter fraud"* -

*2007*
· *Louisiana's Republican Secretary Of State Purged At Least 80,000
Voters Before 2007 Elections.* According to the *New Orleans City Business*,
Republican Secretary of State Jay Dardenne was accused of "purging more than
over 80,000 voters from the rolls just months before Saturday's open primary
election." The article notes "the Orleans Parish Registrar of voters, Sandra
Wilson, reported more than 20,000 voters in New Orleans were purged and what
the Agenda called '*discrimination against victims of the levee failure that
followed Hurricane Katrina*.'" [*New Orleans City Business*,
10/21/07<http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4200/is_/ai_n21063227>,
emphasis added]
*Kentucky's Republican Secretary Of State Effectively Banned Provisional
Ballots, Purged 8,000 Voters. *According to the *Courier-Journal*,
Republican Sectary of State Trey Greyson enacted a rule "refusing to make
provisional ballots available to voters whose names don't appear on the
registration rolls." According to another *Courier-Journal* article, Greyson
also "came under fire last year for purging more than 8,000 voters from the
rolls." [*Courier-Journal*, 10/30/07; *Courier-Journal*, 10/07/07]**
*2006*
· *Karl Rove, Republicans, Forced U.S. Attorneys To Pursue Voter
Fraud Allegations, Despite Lack Of Evidence. *According to the *Washington
Post*,* *"a New Mexico lawyer who pushed to oust U.S. Attorney David
Iglesias was an officer of a nonprofit group that aided
Republicancandidates in 2006 by pressing for tougher
voter identification laws." The article reports, "that strategy, which
presidential advisor Karl Rove alluded to in an April 2006 speech to the
Republican National Lawyers Association, sought to *scrutinize
**voter**registration records, win passage of tougher ID laws and
challenge the
legitimacy of **voters** considered likely to vote Democratic*." The
strategy relied on three efforts: "Tax-exempt groups such as the American
Center and the Lawyers Association were deployed in battleground states to
press for restrictive ID laws and oversee balloting. The Justice
Department's Civil Rights Division turned traditional voting rights
enforcement upside down with legal policies that narrowed rather than
protected the rights of minorities. The White House and the Justice
Department encouraged selected U.S. attorneys to bring voter
fraudprosecutions, despite studies showing that election
fraud isn't a widespread problem." [*Washington Post*, 7/01/07, emphasis
added]**
* *
· *In Missouri, Republicans Used Phony Fraud Allegations To Purge
Voter Rolls, Suppress Voting.* According to the *Kansas City Star*, "before
the 2006 mid-term elections, Republicans in Missouri talked a lot about voter
fraud" as part of "a wider effort in several states, critics charge, aimed
at protecting the GOP hold on Congress by dampening Democratic turnout. That
effort included purges of names from lists of registered voters and tight
policing of get-out-the-vote drives by Democrats." The article lists several
examples, including: "St. Louis lawyer Mark 'Thor' Hearne, national counsel
to Bush's 2004 re-election campaign, helped establish the nonprofit American
Center for Voting Rights, which issued lengthy reports alleging voter
fraudin states across the country, including Missouri. Barnard's
Minnite said the
center's summary on Missouri consisted of 'a litany of overblown allegations
of fraud appearing in newspapers, most of which turn out to be minor
problems or no problem at all.'" [*Kansas City Star*, 5/04/07]**
*2005*
· *Republican Election Lawyers Engineered Law Compared To A "Jim
Crow Era Poll Tax" In Georgia.* According to the *Washington Post*, the
"Georgia voter ID program has been the subject of fierce partisan debate
since it was approved by the state's Republican-controlled legislature in
March. The plan was blocked on constitutional grounds in October by a U.S.
District Court judge, who compared the measure to a Jim Crow-era poll tax."

*2004*
· *Ohio Republican Secretary Of State Purged 133,000 Voters, Refused
To Count 92,000 Ballots Unreadable By Voting Machines. *According to *Mother
Jones*,* *"Blackwell's two most potent acts of disenfranchisement, skeptics
say, were the purging of 133,000 mostly Democratic voters from the rolls and
the non-counting of 92,000 ballots rejected by voting machines as
unreadable." [*Mother Jones*,

*Ohio Republicans Used 'Caging' Tactics To Disqualify Tens Of Thousands Of
Voters.* According to *Rolling Stone*, "during the summer of 2004, the GOP
targeted minority voters in Ohio by zip code, sending registered letters to
more than 200,000 newly registered voters in sixty-five counties. On October
22nd, a mere eleven days before the election, Ohio Republican Party Chairman
Bob Bennett -- who also chairs the board of elections in Cuyahoga County --
sought to invalidate the registrations of 35,427 voters who had refused to
sign for the letters or whose mail came back as undeliverable." [*Rolling

*2003*
· *Tom Delay, Republicans Pushed Plan To Disenfranchise Minority
Voters; Supreme Court Held Parts Of Plan Violated Voting Rights Act. *According
to the *New York Times*, the Supreme Court "threw out" parts of "the Texas
congressional map engineered by former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay,"
citing an "unconstitutional racial gerrymander under the Voting Rights Act,
which protects minority voting rights." [*New York Times*,

· *Republican Operatives Jammed The Phone Lines Of Democratic Phone
Lines On Election Day.* According to *CBS News*, "a jury convicted a former
national Republican official of two telephone harassment charges for his
role in a phone-jamming plot against New Hampshire Democrats on Election Day
2002." The article notes, "on Election Day 2002, hundreds of hang-up calls
overwhelmed Democratic get-out-the-vote phone banks and a ride-to-the-polls
line run by Manchester's firefighters union." [*CBS News*,

*Maryland Republicans Linked To Election-Eve Fliers Claiming False
Endorsements, Erroneous Voting Eligibility.* According to the *Washington
Post*, Republicans distributed fliers for, "' Democrats for Ehrlich.'
Cummings was livid. He had been one of the most vocal supporters of
Ehrlich's opponent, Kathleen Kennedy Townsend (D)." According to the
*Philadelphia
Daily News*, "anonymous fliers in African-American communities warned people
to pay parking tickets and resolve outstanding warrants before heading to
the polls." [*Washington Post*,

· *Missouri Republicans Illegally Purged 50,000 Voters. *According
to the *Sacramento Bee*, "In a 2002 court settlement with the department's
Voting Rights Section, St. Louis election officials acknowledged that they
had improperly purged some 50,000 names from voter lists before the 2000
elections and had failed -- as required by federal law -- to notify those
people properly that they had been placed on inactive status. No one knows
how many eligible voters were denied their right to cast ballots." [*Sacramento
Bee*, 05/03/07]
*Republicans Katherine Harris And Gov. Jeb Bush Purged Between 57,000 To
91,000 Voters - Mostly African Americans – In Florida. *According to
the *Bradenton
Herald*, "Perez and Sekler examine a felon purge list compiled by Database
Technologies, ordered by Bush and administered by then-Secretary of
State Katherine
Harris, which they say removed anywhere from 57,000 to 91,000 voters from
the rolls - more than half of them black Democrats, and most of them
non-felons - without verifying the names." [*Bradenton Herald*, 09/22/02]
