New HLS student group plans to protect voting rights

Excerpt:

A new student group at Harvard Law School is hoping to prevent the mistakes and confusion that plagued many polling places in the 2000 presidential election. Called Just Democracy, and recently launched by two second-year students at HLS, the group aims to create a national network of law school students familiar with election law to promote and protect voting rights in their communities. Already, it has ambitious plans for the 2004 election: it intends to place more than 1,000 such students in polling places where voters are most likely to be effectively disenfranchised by poor procedures.
