DNC gets involved in New Orleans election controversy
AP
The Democratic National Committee is setting up a toll-free telephone line and will air spots on black radio stations in Atlanta, Houston and Baton Rouge to inform displaced New Orleanians of their voting rights.
The DNC is the latest group to get involved in the city's contested April 22 mayoral election. Besides the mayor's race, city council seats, tax assessors and other key city offices are up for grabs.
Black activists and civil rights groups claim that many evacuees living outside of New Orleans may find it hard to vote. They also have sought, so far unsuccessfully, to get satellite polling stations set up outside of Louisiana.
1-888-DEM-VOTE.
