This week, Arizona passed a new law that will restore the right to vote to many people with past convictions who were unable to vote simply because they could not pay off fines. Arizona has one of the most complicated and harsh felony disenfranchisement laws in the country, stripping the right to vote from approximately 221,000 citizens. Upon a felony conviction, everyone loses the right to vote in the state. But some have the right to vote automatically restored when they complete their sentence.
Campaign Legal Center (CLC) filed three new complaints with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) alleging that Skytron, LLC, Alpha Marine Services, and 3M Company violated the prohibition on active federal contractors making political contributions. A prohibition that has been on the books for 75 years and repeatedly upheld, the federal contractor contribution ban protects against the appearance or reality that taxpayer-funded federal contracts are for sale.
