Actualizaci\u00f3n de \u00f3rdenes judiciales el pr\u00f3ximo mi\u00e9rcoles<\/em><\/p>\r\nBOSTON, MA \u2014 Tras una petici\u00f3n de emergencia presentada en la Corte Suprema Judicial de Massachusetts (SJC) por siete votantes negros, latinos y asi\u00e1tico-americanos, Common Cause Massachusetts y MassVOTE, el secretario de la Mancomunidad de Massachusetts, William Galvin, ha comenzado a enviar solicitudes de voto por correo a los votantes. Bertin contra Galvin<\/em>, fue presentada por Abogados de Derechos Civiles y Ropes & Gray en un pro bono<\/em> De forma regular, impuls\u00f3 la acci\u00f3n estatal inmediata. El env\u00edo por correo comenz\u00f3 antes de la audiencia de emergencia de hoy ante el SJC, en la que el juez Frank M. Gaziano orden\u00f3 al secretario Galvin que presentara un informe de situaci\u00f3n antes del pr\u00f3ximo mi\u00e9rcoles, describiendo los pasos que ha tomado para completar el env\u00edo. El 7 de julio, el secretario Galvin anunci\u00f3 que no enviar\u00eda las solicitudes de voto por correo a los votantes, como lo exige la nueva ley electoral de emergencia del estado. El secretario Galvin aleg\u00f3 que no contaba con fondos suficientes para cubrir el env\u00edo. Los votantes de color, Common Cause Massachusetts y MassVOTE cuestionaron esta afirmaci\u00f3n, se\u00f1alando m\u00e1s de $8 millones en fondos federales de la Ley CARES que la oficina de Galvin hab\u00eda recibido, y argumentaron que el cumplimiento de la nueva ley estatal es obligatorio en cualquier caso. Ante el litigio y una declaraci\u00f3n de la Comisi\u00f3n Federal de Asistencia Electoral que reitera que los fondos de la Ley CARES poder<\/u> ser utilizado para enviar solicitudes de votaci\u00f3n por correo, el Secretario Galvin cambi\u00f3 de postura respecto de sus afirmaciones sobre la financiaci\u00f3n y Comenz\u00f3 a enviar 4,5 millones de solicitudes<\/a>\u201cNos complace que nuestro litigio haya dado lugar a acciones y que los residentes del estado de la Bah\u00eda reciban pronto sus solicitudes para votar por correo\u201d, dijo Pam Wilmot, directora ejecutiva de Common Cause Massachusetts.<\/strong> Sin embargo, la desestimaci\u00f3n inicial de la ley por parte del Secretario es profundamente preocupante. Estaremos atentos para garantizar que los requisitos restantes de la ley se implementen sin demora y que ning\u00fan residente de Bay State tenga que elegir entre proteger su salud y participar en nuestra democracia. Es lamentable que se haya necesitado una demanda para obligar al Secretario a cumplir con esta importante obligaci\u00f3n legal, pero nos complace que nuestra demanda haya logrado obligarlo a cumplirla. Oren Sellstrom, Director de Litigios de Abogados por los Derechos Civiles<\/strong>El caso permanecer\u00e1 activo hasta que el Secretario haya enviado todas las solicitudes de voto por correo, para garantizar que los votantes del estado, en particular los de comunidades de color y de bajos ingresos, no se vean privados de sus derechos. Sellstrom se\u00f1al\u00f3 que entre las solicitudes de voto que a\u00fan no se han enviado se encuentran solicitudes biling\u00fces y triling\u00fces utilizadas en 12 municipios. "Que el Secretario del estado haya tomado medidas para iniciar el env\u00edo por correo es una buena noticia", afirm\u00f3. Cheryl Clyburn Crawford, directora ejecutiva de MassVOTE<\/strong>Pero seamos claros: en un momento en que nuestros funcionarios electorales locales ya se est\u00e1n preparando para un aumento repentino de las papeletas de voto por correo, cualquier retraso amenaza con dificultarles el trabajo, ya que significa que m\u00e1s votantes no tendr\u00e1n m\u00e1s opci\u00f3n que obtener solicitudes de voto en ausencia y enviarlas a \u00faltima hora. En otros estados que han celebrado primarias durante la pandemia de COVID-19, hemos visto cientos de miles de papeletas sin contar por esta misma raz\u00f3n. Massachusetts puede y debe hacerlo mejor. Sin recibir una solicitud de voto por correo, los solicitantes en este caso \u2014la mayor\u00eda de los cuales padecen graves afecciones m\u00e9dicas subyacentes y acceso limitado a computadoras o impresoras en casa\u2014 tendr\u00edan dificultades para solicitar papeletas y ejercer su derecho al voto sin arriesgarse a contraer la COVID-19, enfermarse o morir. La petici\u00f3n, presentada directamente ante el SJC, buscaba una medida de emergencia mediante un mandato judicial que ordenaba al Secretario Galvin cumplir con la nueva ley estatal de elecciones de emergencia y enviar las solicitudes de voto por correo antes de la fecha l\u00edmite."}}]},"yoast_head":"\nSecretary of the Commonwealth Begins Mailing Ballot Applications In Response to Lawsuit Filed By Minority Voters and Voting Rights Advocates -
