With placards reading "Stop Vote Fraud" and "Jackie Currie cheats
voters," concerned residents and members of the New Marcus Garvey
Movement/New Black Panther Nation led what they called "a pre-emptive
strike" July 11 at the residence of City Clerk Jackie Currie. The
protest, led by Minister Malik Shabazz, who heads the movement, came a
day before absentee ballots were mailed to people who requested them.
Shabazz and the protesters say they want a clean electoral process that
is devoid of the influence of the clerk or her political associations.
"This is a pre-emptive strike against voting fraud and to say to the
city clerk to stop it and do the right thing," Shabazz said. [more]
