The ACLU has begun looking into elections in Crisfield MD. The Delmarva Daily Times reports the DOJ’s Voting Section is expected to follow and do the same: “Within days of the June 16 election, the American Civil Liberties Union detailed a number of alleged irregularities, including unlawful voter identification requirements and the failure to offer rejected voters a provisional ballot, which the group said appeared to have disproportionately affected African-American voters. The ACLU said it was acting on behalf of mayoral candidate James Lane and several African-American voters. . . .Robin Cockey, the city’s attorney, said he was unaware the Justice Department planned to launch an investigation. ‘That’s interesting and surprising,’ he said. ‘I didn’t know the ACLU thought this was still a viable issue.’ Cockey said he is still in the process of conducting his own investigation, but believes the ACLU’s allegations are unfounded.”
Thank you for the recent article about the bias attitude at DOJ, the new black panther case in Philadelphia and other info. It seems this pay back mentality is everywhere, has been and will be for a very long time and . Thank you for your work and best of luck to you since your resignation. Maureen, Phila, PA
I agree with Maureen and thank you for this website which I am sending to everyone I know.
The American people need to know how unjust this administration is as well as the voting fraud that seems to be rampant all across this country.
On this Independence Day weekend, Americans need to be reminded that freedom is not free and the corruption that permeates government has got to be stopped or our country will be unrecognizable.
J Christian thank you, thank you for living your courage and ethics standing up to the corruption and deception that pervades this administration and congress. We are seeing who has these attributes and who doesn’t.
Md. ACLU seems to be lowering its sights these days–much lower–since its coercive, racially-charged ultimatum on election reform got a big stiff-arm by the City of Greenbelt last year. In the last Census, Greenbelt was 20k+ residents; Crisfield was under 3,000! One wonders if voter turnout even numbered into four figures! Doubtful.
Let’s hope the good people of Crisfield have some gumption and don’t cave to the empty threats of ACLU without substantive evidence of intentional wrong-doing. Racially inflammatory conjecture gets old, even when ACLU tries in futility, over and over, to shore up its standing with Maryland’s otherwise dismissive African-American population. Maybe especially then.
Hopefully DOJ has better things to do than threaten tiny municipalities; clearly ACLU-MD does not.
