Voting Rights Testimony for Wastington State Appeal
This is some testimony from the NAACP Legal Defense Fund's argument a few days ago, as part of a challenge to Washington State's felony disenfranchisement law.
The Legal Defense fund won an earlier case in District Court and the public pressure from that victory also caused Washington State to improve its statutes on former felon voting rights. The legal victory is being challenged in the 9th Circuit Court, which is the testimony you see in the video.
"(You're saying that) the entire criminal justice system in the state of Washington is intentionally discriminatory against minorities?" - Judge
"That's not right, your honor. What the evidence shows in this case, as the District Court found, is that the racial disparities in Washington's criminal justice system arise from and result in discrimination on account of race" - Ryan Higdon, NAACP Legal Defense Fund
KFTC is continuing to have conversations with the NAACP Legal Defense Fund about the possibility of litigation in Kentucky along a very different line of legal argument.

I wonder at the value of discussing a prospective legal strategy in a public and anonymous way like this, but feel free to contact me personally by using the contact tab at the bottom of our website.

Look here for news of mine safety issues.

your last sentence is confusing. if it is a similar argument, please indicate so. if it is a different argument please state what that is.
