Alabama: Autauga Co. judge orders registration of rejected applicant
The Prattville Progress reports: Autauga County Judge of Probate Al Booth granted this week a request for summary judgment from an 18-year-old woman whose voter registration application was denied in July, and ordered the county's board of registrars to immediately add the woman's name to the county's list of registered voters.
Booth's decree brought to a close a controversial rejection by registrars of a voter application form filed by Jasmine Dent, a resident student at Tuskegee University who moved from Millbrook to Prattville shortly before she started classes.
When Dent attempted on July 6 to register to vote here, she inadvertently put her Elmore County address on the original application, then wadded the erroneous registration form and tossed it into a trash can at the board of registrars office.
She completed a second form, providing the correct residency information, but Registrar Bobby Wise retrieved the original and noted on the second form that the document should not be approved because it was "fraudulent," although he refused to specify upon what grounds his decision was based. Fellow registrar Joan Hamburger also signed off on the denial. -- Read the whole story --> montgomeryadvertiser.com :: Judge: Add woman to voter rolls
