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.

  • Another Milwaukee Icon Falls Victim to COVID-19
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: January 26, 2021 Contact: Rob Hullum, 414-278-4285 Another Milwaukee Icon Falls Victim to COVID-19 MILWAUKEE – Supervisor Joseph J. Czarnezki released the following statement on the closure of Serb Hall: “Like many in Milwaukee – especially those on the Southside – I was saddened by the news that Serb Hall has become the latest business to fall victim to the COVID-19 pandemic. “American Serb Memorial Hall was completed and dedicated in September 1950, in honor of the Serbian Orthodox men who served in the United States Armed Forces. “Over the last seven decades, Serb Hall hosted many political events over the years, from Presidential visits to my own political fundraisers and election night gatherings. “Among the many political figures who have visited Serb Hall are: John and Jackie Kennedy, Dwight Eisenhower, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Lyndon Johnson, Ronald and Nancy Reagan, George Bush, Bill Clinton, Hubert Humphrey, Edmund Muskie, George McGovern, Walter Mondale, Michael Dukakis, Jerry Kleczka, Tommy Thompson, John Norquist, Henry Meier, and Clement Zablocki. “Serb Hall was also the home of one of Milwaukee’s most famous fish fries, including my favorite, Serbian fish. I hope the St. Sava community will find a way to continue to provide this Serbian delicacy to the community. “Serb Hall was an important gathering place for Milwaukee’s Serbian community as well as many other community groups and organizations. It will be remembered for its extraordinary hospitality. “I am proud to have represented the people of the St. Sava neighborhood in the State Legislature, as County Clerk and on the County Board.” ### .

  • We Call Upon All Elected Leaders And
    “We call upon all elected leaders and elections officials at every level of government to recommit to our core democratic principles, to look within and consider what they themselves can do in this critical hour to uphold the best in our nation’s values.” – Faith leaders’ statement on integrity, safety and fairness in the 2020 U.S Election, Oct. 12, 2020 Send Faith Leaders' Letter on Elections to Secretary of State Please contact your secretary of state and urge her/him to ensure the integrity of the upcoming elections. The Lawyers and Collars voting rights education and protection program has prioritized this messaging for nine states: Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Wisconsin. You may find a sample message and contact information below. Background As Election Day 2020 approaches, the country is facing many challenges and with it growing stress on state and county election officials. Boards of Elections will have to process many more absentee ballots than in past elections because of the pandemic. Older persons who usually make up a significant percentage of poll workers may not be working this year because they are more susceptible to the virus, leading to thinner staffing. A contentious election may also lead to a record turnout. Add to those factors: calls for people to ”protect” election sites with a show of force and persistent disinformation about election “fraud” and a “rigged election.” The Sisters of Mercy signed onto a faith leaders’ statement on integrity, safety and fairness in the 2020 U.S Election that calls “for integrity in the processes that shape our systems of governance and form the basis of our shared wellbeing.” It is important to let your secretary of state know that you expect her/him to adhere to the highest standards to ensure that voters have correct information, that there is no intimidation of voters outside polling places and that all valid ballots are counted, no matter how long it takes.

Parrish August 2017 © 2017 Jordan G. Parrish. All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled The Undead Subject of Lost Decade Japanese Horror Cinema by JORDAN G. PARRISH has been approved for the Film Division and the College of Fine Arts by Ofer Eliaz Assistant Professor of Film Studies Matthew R. Shaftel Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 Abstract PARRISH, JORDAN G., M.A., August 2017, Film Studies The Undead Subject of Lost Decade Japanese Horror Cinema Director of Thesis: Ofer Eliaz This thesis argues that Japanese Horror films released around the turn of the twenty- first century define a new mode of subjectivity: “undead subjectivity.” Exploring the implications of this concept, this study locates the undead subject’s origins within a Japanese recession, decimated social conditions, and a period outside of historical progression known as the “Lost Decade.” It suggests that the form and content of “J- Horror” films reveal a problematic visual structure haunting the nation in relation to the gaze of a structural father figure. In doing so, this thesis purports that these films interrogate psychoanalytic concepts such as the gaze, the big Other, and the death drive. This study posits themes, philosophies, and formal elements within J-Horror films that place the undead subject within a worldly depiction of the afterlife, the films repeatedly ending on an image of an emptied-out Japan invisible to the big Other’s gaze.

  • Voting Rights Act Materials Reader’S Note
    Voting Rights Act Materials Reader’s Note The following pages include historical artifacts, such as news articles, quotes, and published letters from the 1960s about the events leading up to the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. They were originally published as part of the Secretary of State’s 2015-2016 Legislative Manual, or “Blue Book.” As readers will see, the language used and printed fifty years ago to describe the struggles faced by African-Americans and other communities of color is considerably different than today. The Secretary of State’s St. Paul Pioneer Press, March 16, 1965 Office, in consultation with the Saint Paul NAACP, felt it was important for Minnesotans to read these sources of information as they were written in 1965, not only for historical context but so Minnesotans can better understand how far we’ve come and how far we have yet to go.

    Case 1:20-cv-01986-ELR Document 83 Filed 06/26/20 Page 1 of 18 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF GEORGIA ATLANTA DIVISION THE NEW GEORGIA PROJECT, et al., Plaintiffs, v. Civil Action File No. BRAD RAFFENSPERGER, in his 1:20-cv-01986-ELR official capacity as the Georgia Secretary of State and the Chair of the Georgia State Election Board, et al., Defendants. STATE DEFENDANTS’ MOTION TO DISMISS PLAINTIFFS’ AMENDED COMPLAINT Defendants Brad Raffensperger, in his official capacity as Secretary of State and the Chair of the Georgia State Election Board (the “Secretary”), State Election Board Members Rebecca N. Sullivan, David J. Worley, Anh Le, and Matthew Mashburn (collectively, the “State Defendants”), by and through their undersigned counsel, file this Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs’ Amended Complaint. The Amended Complaint must be dismissed because Plaintiffs lack standing and their allegations fail to state any claim for relief. 1. Plaintiffs lack standing. Plaintiffs challenge five aspects of Georgia election law: (1) the statute governing incomplete absentee ballot request forms, O.C.G.A. § 21-2-384(b)(4) (the “Absentee Applicant Notification Case 1:20-cv-01986-ELR Document 83 Filed 06/26/20 Page 2 of 18 Statute”); (2) the statute allowing elderly, disabled, and Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (“UOCAVA”) voters to request absentee ballots for an entire election cycle, O.C.G.A. § 21-2-381(a)(1)(G); (3) the United States Postal Service’s (“USPS’s”) policy of requiring postage to deliver mail (but not official election mail); (4) the statutory requirement that absentee ballots be delivered to a county election official by 7:00 p.m.
