A California church claims its polling station was taken away by the local registrar of voters because there are Black Lives Matter banners on the church's property.
A California church claims its designation as a polling station was taken away by the local registrar of voters because there are Black Lives Matter banners on the church's property.
The church was a polling place during the elections of November 2016 and June 2018. Orth's office moved the neighborhood's voting location one mile north, to the CrossCity Christian Church, for the elections of November 2018, according to the complaint filed by American Civil Liberties Union lawyers on behalf of the church.Courtesy of Reverend Tim Kutzmark
Anti-electioneering laws in California say there are to be no signs endorsing candidates or measures within 100 feet of a polling location,"The Church's Black Lives Matter banners were no electioneering," according the complaint written by ACLU lawyer Mollie M. Lee."They did not advocate for or against any candidate or measure on the ballot." The Black Lives Matter movement calls for the end of racial profiling and police brutality.
