John H. Merrill Secretary of State
ALABAMA STATE CAPITOL (334) 242-7200 600 DEXTER AVENUE FAX (334) 242-4993 SUITE S-105 WWW.SOS.ALABAMA.GOV MONTGOMERY, AL 36130 [email protected] JOHN H. MERRILL SECRETARY OF STATE October 2, 2020 Senator Mitch McConnell 317 Russell S.O.B. Washington, DC 20510 Dear Majority Leader McConnell: Thank you for your swift action to hold hearings and to make certain that each Senator has the opportunity to consider the President’s nomination to fill the open seat on the Supreme Court of the United States. It is of utmost importance that the Supreme Court has a full nine-member court before Election Day on November 3, 2020. Maintaining the integrity and credibility of our elections is of paramount significance to each of us as our state’s respective chief election official. Americans must be able to exercise their constitutional right to vote with confidence, knowing their ballot will be counted for the candidate of their choice. In the case an election issue is challenged in court, America cannot afford a tie vote. We must be able to report election results in a timely, secure, and efficient manner as we have done before. The Honorable Amy Coney Barrett is an outstanding nominee for consideration for a vacancy on the Supreme Court of the United States. She brings with her an unblemished record and extensive experience as a litigator and distinguished professor of law at the University of Notre Dame. Her philosophy and tried and true beliefs of upholding the constitution and the laws of our nation as written make her an excellent choice for our nation’s highest court. -

1 Written Testimony of the Native American Rights Fund Regarding H.B. 1369 House Committee on Veterans and Government Affairs Ja
Written Testimony of the Native American Rights Fund Regarding H.B. 1369 House Committee on Veterans and Government Affairs January 27, 2017 Introduction The Native American Rights Fund (NARF) very much appreciates the opportunity to comment on H.B. 1369. Founded in 1970, NARF is the oldest and largest nonprofit law firm dedicated to asserting and defending the rights of Indian tribes, organizations and individuals nationwide. Along with the Dickson Law Office and Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, NARF represents a group of Native American voters who have challenged North Dakota’s voter ID requirements in federal court under the U.S. Constitution, the Voting Rights Act and the North Dakota Constitution and obtained a preliminary injunction relating to the 2016 election. We are deeply concerned that North Dakota’s voter ID laws disproportionately impact and unlawfully abridge the voting rights of Native Americans in North Dakota. While H.B. 1369 appears to make some improvements, it still does not provide any fail-safe mechanisms for Native Americans and other voters who cannot to satisfy North Dakota’s strict voter ID requirements, which are likely the most restrictive in the United States. The lack of fail-safe mechanisms was one of the main reasons the federal court granted a preliminary injunction relating to the 2016 election. Before 2013, North Dakota was a voter-friendly state that allowed its citizens to vote based on a poll worker vouching for their identity, or by the voter executing an affidavit under penalty of perjury declaring they are an eligible voter. H.B. 1332 and 1333 mandated that voters present an ID from a narrow list of acceptable IDs and eliminated the voucher and affidavit fail- safe mechanisms that previously existed. -

State of West Virginia RILEY MOORE OFFICE OF THE STATE TREASURER STATE CAPITOL, ROOM E-145 STATE TREASURER PHONE: 304 -558-5000 or 1-800-422-7498 1900 KANAWHA BOULEVARD, EAST www.wvtreasury.com CHARLESTON, WV 25305 May 25, 2021 The Honorable John F. Kerry Special Presidential Envoy for Climate United States Department of State 2201 C Street, Northwest Washington, DC 20520 Dear Mr. Kerry: We are writing today to express our deep concern with recent reports that you, and other members of the Biden Administration, are privately pressuring U.S. banks and financial institutions to refuse to lend to or invest in coal, oil, and natural gas companies, as part of a misguided strategy to eliminate the fossil fuel industry in our country.1 As members of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee have noted,2 these efforts to secure extralegal commitments from financial institutions will discriminate against law-abiding U.S. energy companies and their employees, impede economic growth, and drive up consumer costs. As a collective, we strongly oppose command-and-control economic policies that attempt to bend the free market to the political will of government officials. It is simply antithetical to our nation’s position as a democracy and a capitalist economy for the Executive Branch to bully corporations into curtailing legal activities. The Biden Administration’s top-down tactics of picking economic winners and losers deprives the real determinate group in our society – the people – of essential choice and agency. We refuse to allow the federal government to pick our critical industries as losers, based purely on President Biden’s own radical political preferences and ideologies.
