NAACP Branch Sues Va.’s Governor Over Voter Preparation
October 28, 2008 | Read Time: 1 minute
The Virginia branch of the NAACP is suing that state’s governor, Tim Kaine, because, officials at the nonprofit group say, the state has failed to prepare for an unprecedented voter turnout in next week’s presidential election, the Associated Press reports.
The complaint was filed in U.S. District Court in Richmond, Va.
Officials at the state’s Board of Elections said in a statement that all jurisdictions have the legally required number of voting machines or voting booths and that machines and booths in some jurisdictions even exceed the required number.
