US Justice Department Outsources Voting Rights Hotline
Posted October 10th, 2008 by mal contends
The DOJ is outsourcing its voter hotline to defense contractor Lockheed Martin.
Makes the progressive 866-OUR-VOTE hotline look even more appealing.
From the JusticeWatch-Alliance for Justice blog:
(I)t appears the Department of Justice (DOJ) has contracted its Voting Rights Section’s 2008 U.S. Election Hotline to none other than defense contractor Lockheed Martin. For those of you not familiar with this service, the hotline was created for callers to determine registration status, report voter intimidation and suppression, and to ask general questions about voting procedures and eligibility.
