Peter O’Connor’s CURE/CE seminar talk last Friday, November 16th, 2012, had seminar attendees (mostly comprised of Rutgers students, faculty, and others interested in Peter’s legacy of fair housing law advocacy) hanging onto every word.  Peter gave a succinct recount of the regional inequality picture of the socio-economically unequal distribution of resources throughout Camden County and New Jersey in general.  He particularly stressed the relationship between racism, money, power, and political clout in the region and State and its relationship to regional, affordable housing opportunities for its low- to moderate-income residents.  For more information on Peter and his fair share housing organization, please visit fairsharehousing.org, Peter’s organization is located in Cherry Hill, NJ.

Affiliated Scholar Lori Minnite was quoted in a recent New Yorker article, “The Voter-Fraud Myth”:

Lorraine Minnite, a public-policy professor at Rutgers, collated decades of electoral data for her 2010 book, “The Myth of Voter Fraud,” and came up with some striking statistics. In 2005, for example, the federal government charged many more Americans with violating migratory-bird statutes than with perpetrating election fraud, which has long been a felony. She told me, “It makes no sense for individual voters to impersonate someone. It’s like committing a felony at the police station, with virtually no chance of affecting the election outcome.”
