Latino-majority
town in Kansas moves its lone polling site outside city limits,
triggering ACLU suit (Paywall)
DODGE
CITY — This small Kansas town with a majority Latino population has
moved its lone polling site to a tough-to-access location outside the
city limits, drawing a federal lawsuit that claims the move is
intended to discourage voters who have less access to transportation
and don’t have flexible work schedules.
The
Wichita Eagle reported that after the ACLU initially objected to the
Dodge City's single, out-of-town location. [The election official who
ordered the move, Ford County Clerk Deborah] Cox forwarded to the
state an ACLU letter asking her to publicize a voter helpline.
In an eyes-only post script Ms. Cox added:
This
ACLU lawsuit is not applicable.
To
hint that I'm racist is, frankly, “Deth-spic-able!”
That,
I conjecture, is what Daffy Duck
would
say in my place if he were stuck.
In
Dodge, we advocate complete voting rights.
(For
every last one of our car-owning whites.)
If Juan y Maria have a complaint to lodge,
I would suggest that they “get out of Dodge”.
Marque
dos para espanol.
Si Juan y María tienen quejas para presentar
Yo sugeriría que salgan de Dodge.
