Legal Action To Protect Voter Rights Of Expats From Pennsylvania
"The amicus brief was filed on October 18, by the Brennan Center and co-counsel O'Melveny & Myers LLP and Myers, Brier & Kelly LLP on behalf of nonpartisan organizations including American Citizens Abroad (ACA), the Association of Americans Resident Overseas (AARO), Blue Star Families, the Federation of American Women's Clubs Overseas (FAWCO), the US Vote Foundation, as well as seven individual overseas voters.
Marylouise Serrato, Executive Director of ACA, said: This is a bipartisan issue. All US citizens, whether they want to vote for Democrats or Republicans or someone else, should have the right to do this easily and in a straight-forward manner. Voting rights for US citizens overseas was one of the first advocacy issues the organization addressed when it was founded.
Our members are Republicans and Democrats, Independents, and everything else under the sun. They are engaged with the issues, they want to vote, and they need to be able to vote and to do this without having to jump through a lot of hoops, added Jonathan Lachowitz, Chairman, ACA. ACA has always supported efforts to ensure that the voting rights of US citizens overseas are safeguarded and we will continue to defend the voting rights of US citizens overseas."
