The website is a venture of the Election Reform Information Project. Then, NAACP officers Marvin "Doc" Cheatham and Reverend Nelson B. Rivers, III. Cheatham is the seventh President of the NAACP Baltimore City Branch and an election specialist. He's the founder and chairman of the Maryland Voting Rights Restoration Coalition.
