style="COLOR: #000000; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"
face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color=#000000 size=2>We are on
the eve of one of the most historic elections of our time. And the

us uncertain of its legitimacy. </FONT><BR><BR><FONT

face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color=#000000 size=2>The
biggest of them all: Attorney General Mukasey and the Department
of Justice (DOJ) are walking away from their sacred responsibility
to guarantee smooth and fair elections. </FONT><BR><BR><FONT
style="COLOR: #000000; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"
face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color=#000000 size=2>While the
government is engaged in a highly-publicized attempt to raise the
specter of voter fraud against groups who have been working hard
to register poor and minority voters, the DOJ is doing little, if
anything, to deal with the real problem -- hundreds of thousands,
maybe millions, of registered voters who may turn up on Election
Day just to be turned away.</FONT><BR><BR><FONT

style="COLOR: #000000; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"
face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color=#000000 size=2>The ACLU
and other civil rights groups have repeatedly warned Justice
Department officials that high-profile, partisan voter fraud
investigations before Election Day have a chilling effect on voter
turnout. Despite this feedback, the Department of Justice and the
FBI continue with these highly publicized and partisan efforts
prior to this historic election rather than stopping unlawful
behavior in states all over the country where eligible voters are
being improperly purged from the rolls.<BR><BR>For example,
despite the ACLU’s request to DOJ to intervene to stop states from
purging eligible voters, DOJ was silent when Michigan engaged in
two statewide voter purge programs that could have disenfranchised
hundreds of thousands of voters in advance of the November 4th
election. The voter removal programs were operating in direct
violation of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA), a
federal law DOJ is supposed to enforce. By state officials’ own
admissions, these programs were impacting hundreds of thousands of
voters.</FONT><BR><BR><FONT
style="COLOR: #000000; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"
face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color=#000000 size=2>The ACLU
-- along with the Advancement Project -- fought these programs in
court to protect the integrity of this year’s election. And just
last week, a federal judge found both programs to be illegal.
