Selon le secrétaire d'état du Massachusetts William Galvin, le juge en chef de la Cour suprême aurait cité de mauvais chiffres lorsqu'on l'a questionné sur les retombées du Voting rights act de 1965. Si tel est le cas, les erreurs sont troublantes...
"The problem, Massachusetts Secretary of State William Galvin says, is that the data does not back up Roberts’s claim.
“It’s just disturbing that the chief justice of the United States would spew this kind of misinformation,” Galvin told POLITICO.
Galvin’s office assumes that Roberts was going off U.S. Census Bureau data, which is one of the only national datasets on voter turnout by race, but they say the 2010 numbers don’t support what Roberts is saying.
“He’s wrong, and in fact what’s truly disturbing is not just the doctrinaire way he presented by the assertion, but when we went searching for an data that could substantiate what he was saying, the only thing we could find was a census survey pulled from 2010 … which speaks of noncitizen blacks,” Galvin said. “We have an immigrant population of black folks and many other folks. Mississippi has no noncitizen blacks, so to reach his conclusion, you have to rely on clearly flawed information.”
