NCFFE applauds House Introduction of Deceptive Practices and Voter Intimidation Prevention Act

The National Campaign for Fair Elections Applauds Representatives Rahm Emanuel, John Conyers, Mike Honda, Xavier Becerra, Keith Ellison, Rush Holt and over 40 of their colleagues for introducing the House companion to Senators Obama and Schumer's Deceptive Practices and Voter Intimidation Prevention Act. As with its Senate companion, H.R. 1281 addresses a key problem uncovered by Election Protection in the 2004 and 2006 election cycles: deliberate deceptions aimed at preventing eligible voters from casting a meaningful ballot.
