Maine Seeks Relief From Voting Rights Act For 18 Communities
The State Election Division plans to ask the attorney general to help obtain relief for 18 Maine towns bound by the federal Voting Rights Act. Deputy Secretary Linwood Ross said a brief will be prepared for the U.S. District Court in Washington after adjournment to seek a declaratory judgment removing these rural communities from the act’s jurisdiction. The towns lack resources to file with the Justice Department, and their inclusion stems from 1968 poll tax rules and low turnout.
