An exciting new ruling out of Florida is a victory for voting rights.

Voters in the state chose overwhelmingly to restore voting rights to felons who had completed “all terms of their sentence including probation and parole” in 2018.

The additional requirements meant that more than 1.5 million felons were barred from participating in the voting process.

The court ruled that the “Twenty-Fourth Amendment precludes Florida from conditioning voting in federal elections on payment of these fees and costs.”

On July 14, Texas will hold its 2020 runoff elections to decide the final spots for Democrats and Republicans on the November general election ballot.

Abbott also doubled the length of the early voting period for the July primary runoff elections in a move to aimed at easing crowds at the polls during the pandemic.

“It is necessary to increase the number of days in which polling locations will be open during the early voting period, such that election officials can implement appropriate social distancing and safe hygiene practices,” Abbott wrote in a May proclamation.

Democrats sued the state hoping to expand voting by mail as a safer alternative to in-person voting during the pandemic, but the Texas Supreme Court ruled in late May that a lack of immunity to the coronavirus alone does not qualify a voter to apply for a mail-in ballot.

Those who will not be in the county where they registered on election day and throughout the early voting period also have the option to request a ballot by mail

Gas tax set to push households back to wood fuel

Friday, May 22, 2020 0:01

By EDWIN OKOTH

Close to 75 percent of households still rely on wood and charcoal to cook.

The reintroduction of value-added tax (VAT) on cooking gas will reverse gains made in weaning households off dirty fuel, energy sector players have said.

The stakeholders, among them the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority, said a more expensive liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) would push many households to biomass sources like wood and charcoal.

The Energy ministry, in a recent survey that found close to 75 percent of households still rely on wood and charcoal to cook, recommended more effort to push for a clean cooking solution to save the environment and improve health.

Energy secretary Charles Keter told the November 2019 Clean Cooking Forum reducing Household Air Pollution (HAP) brought about by cooking using inefficient cooking solutions remains a key health risk to populations, which needs to be addressed by faster uptake of clean cooking solutions in the country.

Some four months after the first COVID-19 case in Africa was reported in Egypt, countries on the continent are beginning to ease public health and social measures, such as lockdowns and curfews, imposed to curb the spread of the pandemic.

However, as COVID-19 cases remain on the uptick, including in countries that have re-opened their economies, governments are having to balance containment with preserving people's means of earning a living.

Rwanda, one of the first countries to impose a complete lockdown allowed people working in public and private essential services, including market vendors, to return to their workplaces at the beginning of May.

According to WHO the number of days for case numbers to double in a given country - increased during the lockdown period in most of the countries of the region (5 days to 41 in Cote d'Ivoire, 3 days to 14 in South Africa).

In a recent survey across 28 cities in 20 African countries, a majority of people say they supported these public health and social measures, even the most restrictive, aimed at slowing the pandemic.

April 2007 national elections—the country’s first transition from one democratically elected president to another—were marred by widespread allegations of fraud, ballot stuffing, violence, and chaos. Just days before the election, the Supreme Court ruled that the election commission’s decision to remove from the ballot Vice President Atiku Abubakar, a leading candidate and a bitter rival of President Olusegun Obsanjo, was illegal. Ballots were reprinted, but they only showed party symbols rather than the names of candidates. Umaru Yar’Adua, the candidate of the governing party, won the election in a landslide, taking more than 24.6 million votes. Second-place candidate Muhammadu Buhari tallied only about 6 million votes. International observers called the vote flawed and illegitimate. The chief observer for the European Union said the results “cannot be considered to have been credible.” An election tribunal ruled in Feb. 2008 that although the election was indeed flawed, the evidence of rigging was not substantial enough to overturn the election results.

The rebel group in Nigerias oil-producing region, the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, declared a cease-fire in September. Since the insurgency broke out in 2004, Nigerias oil production has been significantly reduced, from about 2.5 million barrels a day to 1.5 million.

Deadly violence broke out in July 2009 in northeastern Nigeria between government troops and an obscure fundamentalist sect, Boko Haram, which is opposed to Western education and seeks to have Sharia law implemented throughout the country. The groups name translates to Western education is sinful. As many as 1,000 civilians died in the battles. The fighting began after militants attacked police stations and seemed to be preparing for a pitched religious war against the government. The police, followed by the army, retaliated and unleashed a five-day assault against the sect. The groups leader, Mohammed Yusuf, was killed in the campaign and the group was nearly decimated.

Although Uganda began to relax some of the lockdown rules last week, including allowing private vehicles to return to the roads, the country faces an uphill ride back to economic normalcy, a wide-ranging survey by this newspaper shows.

Mr Jean Byamugisha, the chief executive officer of the Uganda Hotel Owners Association, an industry lobby group, estimates her 500 members across the country will lose about $900 million (about Shs3.4 trillion) to the pandemic and the resultant lockdown.

Summer is usually peak season with international tourists flocking in but with international travel badly hit by the impact of the coronavirus disease, for hoteliers like Mr Wekesa, the pain is being felt at home, and will impact other sectors, including agriculture, if it drags on for more months.

In his 14th address to the nation on Covid-19, President Museveni said: \"We have lost $1.6 billion from tourism and there is nothing we can do about that... \"

Apart from tourism, other economic sectors such as manufacturing, construction, trade, transport and services are also suffering from the economic slowdown.

A separate report presented to the Parliamentary Committee on National Economy by a segment of beverage manufacturers shows that the closure of bars, restaurants and social gatherings has already cost government at least Shs25 billion in revenue in the last three months alone.

During the first day of early voting, 636 Fulton County voters cast their ballots.

This is two hours earlier than the original time of 9 a.m.

Additional locations were made available at several voting sites to allow more voters to cast ballots while maintaining social distancing:

Additional ballot scanners are also being added.

As these adjustments are made to ensure an efficient early voting experience, some delays are expected at peak times.

The Fulton County Registration & Elections Department encourages all voters who apply for absentee by mail ballots to vote in that manner.

The process of having elections staff to cancel those ballots lengthens the line and the wait time for other voters to cast early ballots.
