Supreme Court denies RNC bid to end voter fraud consent decree
January 14, 2013
The courts action is a victory for the DNC, and it comes after an election year in which the two parties regularly exchanged charges over voter fraud and voter intimidation. But most of the recent battles have been fought on the state level, and it is not clear whether the long-standing consent decree has had much impact.
The case began in 1981 when the RNC created a national ballot security task force that, among other things, undertook mailing campaigns targeted at black and Latino neighborhoods in New Jersey. If mailers were returned undelivered, party activists put those voters on a list to be challenged if they showed up to cast a ballot. In addition, the party was alleged to have hired off-duty law enforcement officers to patrol minority neighborhoods on election day.
The DNC sued the RNC in federal court, alleging its activities violated the Voting Rights Act and were intended to suppress voting among minorities. Rather than fight the charges in a trial, the RNC agreed to a consent decree promising to refrain from undertaking any ballot security activities directed toward [election] districts that have a substantial proportion of racial or ethnic minority populations.
The consent decree has remained in effect, and DNC lawyers say they have gone to court in states such as Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana and Pennsylvania to challenge Republican activities that appear to target mostly black precincts. Both sides agree, however, that the consent decree does not forbid normal poll watching by Republican officials.
