NAACP Attacks New Voting Laws

Both parties recognize that minority voters could spell the difference between victory and defeat in next year’s election. Changing demographic numbers underscore the importance of Latinos especially on polling day. And there are any number of voter registration efforts going on to try and get more blacks and Latinos to the polls. But in a new reports, according to the NAACP, there is concerted effort to disenfranchise African-American and Latino voters ahead of next year’s presidential election. They say that new voting laws are an  attack on minority voting  rights. In fact, the NAACP will be petitioning the United Nations on Saturday over new laws in 25 states that they say target blacks and unfairly restrict the right to vote. President and CEO of the NAACP,  Benjamin Todd Jealous talks more about these actions.
