A controversy is clucking in
Pinellas County over chicken sandwiches, sweet tea and voter registration
cards.
The Stonewall Democrats of Pinellas
County are crying foul over Pinellas County Supervisor of Elections Deborah
Clark's decision to hold voter registration drives at nine Chick-fil-A
locations. Chick-fil-A, the fast-food chain known for putting faith ahead of
profits, supports conservative causes.
Susan McGrath, leader of the
Stonewall Democrats and head of the Pinellas Democratic Party, said the
decision to use Chick-fil-A would be similar to a Democratic supervisor of
elections holding the event at Planned Parenthood.
McGrath said the group supports the
effort to register more voters, But she called the move partisan to hold the
event at Chick-fil-A and said it might be more transparent to hold the voter
drives at the Republican Party headquarters.
"While some Democrats may
occasionally dine at Chick-fil-A (and perhaps even members of the LGBT
community), the coordination of Pinellas voter registration activities with
this right-leaning business very clearly conveys that your office is targeting
Republican-leaning voters," McGrath wrote to Clark.
Jason Latimer, Clark's spokesman, said
the office will hold 350 voter drives this year. He declined to comment on
McGrath's allegations, but he did say the restaurants draw lots of consumers.
Still, McGrath isn't satisfied. She
noted Clark's objection last week to opening a satellite office for early
voting in neighborhoods south of Central Avenue in St. Petersburg. The areas
are predominately African-American. The closest location to vote early is in
downtown St. Petersburg. Two black pastors and Mayor Rick Kriseman also support
opening the satellite office.
