Tuesday July 2, 6:23 pm Eastern Time Press Release SOURCE: ChoicePoint Inc. NAACP and Florida Voters Reach Agreement with ChoicePoint(R) in Voting Rights Lawsuit ChoicePoint to Make Donation to NAACP and Reprocess Voter Exception List WASHINGTON and ALPHARETTA, Ga., July 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Civil rights plaintiffs have reached an agreement with ChoicePoint (NYSE: CPS - News) over work performed by Database Technologies (DBT) for the State of Florida in the 2000 elections. The NAACP and Florida voters filed a federal lawsuit -- NAACP v. Harris -- challenging the conduct of state and local officials in the 2000 Florida elections, including DBT, because of the company's work as a contractor hired by the state.
As part of the settlement, ChoicePoint will donate $75,000 to the NAACP, which will be used to fund past and future efforts to further the electoral opportunities of Florida's minority voters. Under the agreement, the company also will re-process the 1999 and 2000 "exceptions lists" of Florida voters who may have been ineligible to vote because of possible felony criminal convictions or because of possibly being registered to vote in more than one county. The reprocessing will be conducted pursuant to terms proposed by the plaintiffs and subject to court approval.
DBT was under contract with the State of Florida from late 1998 through 2000 to create a list of registered voters who may have been deceased, registered in more than one county, or convicted felons under the Florida voting fraud statute. ChoicePoint acquired DBT in May, 2000, after the initial 2000 voter exception list was delivered to Florida officials for verification.
The civil rights organizations challenging the Florida election practices on behalf of the NAACP, its Florida Branches, and individual Floridians whose voting rights were compromised in the 2000 election, are the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, People for the American Way Foundation, American Civil Liberties Union, Advancement Project, and NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund.
