"Subject: Protect Your Right to Vote Now
We are on the eve of one of the most historic elections of our
time. And the last thing America needs right now is another election
that leaves us uncertain of its legitimacy.
Unfortunately, there are enough shenanigans going on to raise serious
concerns.
The biggest of them all: Attorney General Mukasey and the
Department of Justice (DOJ) are walking away from their sacred
responsibility to guarantee smooth and fair elections.
While the government is engaged in a highly-publicized attempt to
raise the specter of voter fraud against groups who have been working
hard to register poor and minority voters, DOJ is doing little, if
anything, to deal with the real problem -- hundreds of thousands, maybe
millions, of registered voters who may turn up on Election Day just to
be turned away.
I just asked the DOJ to take decisive action before Election Day to
protect the right to vote for everyone. You can do the same here:
Election officials should concentrate their limited resources on
expanding access to the ballot box and protecting voters. Demand that
the Department of Justice act to protect voting rights.
