NAACP sues Volusia to open another early voting site

October 13, 2004/ Tron Nick

The NAACP sued Volusia County's elections supervisor, alleging that the county disenfranchises blacks by having only one early voting site in an area where fewer minorities live. The NAACP wants elections chief Deanie Lowe to open another early voting site by Oct. 18 in the eastern part of the county, where more blacks live, according to the federal voting rights lawsuit filed Thursday. The county's only site is in the administrative seat of DeLand, about 20 miles southwest of Daytona Beach. State law requires county elections officials to offer early voting starting 15 days before an election. The voting can take place at elections offices, but if other sites are opened, they must be spread out evenly if possible, according to the law. Lowe said that meant the county also would have to open sites in New Smyrna Beach and Deltona. [more
