VOTER PURGING ON THE RISE AGAIN.

Political campaigns are now in high gear competing for money and votes — some by wooing voters, others by removing them. In Mass Purges Are the New Voter Suppression, the Brennan Center gives examples of pernicious requests for registration lists verification. They also recommend a solution for database maintenance — Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) — where 25 states (plus D.C.) exchange address changes collected by the post office, motor vehicle departments, registrars of voters and Social Security Administration.

Purges are effective, according to the Brennan Center report People of Color Are Being Deterred from Voting, But purges are only one tactic to disenfranchise voters. Student IDs are now unacceptable in 12 states according to Student ID as Voter ID from the Campus Vote Project.

Now is the time to act, by donating money or giving your time (or both!) to register voters, explain election rules, and inspire voters to cast their ballots. Check out our National Organizations page for organizations that provide links to information about elections in each state such as Election Protection 866ourvote, Vote.org, VoteAmerica and the League of Women Voter’s Vote411. Or find your fit at Local Organizations.

Every effort you make matters. Stand up for voting rights. Thank you.

New!

Hey, Hey — Stay Away!

The Campus Vote Project created this map which combines strictness of in-person student ID requirements with strictness of the state’s voting laws. The darker the Pink, the more restrictive are both, while the darker the Green, the less restrictive are both. Blue is mixed and Gray indicates no voting ID laws. See Student ID as Voter ID for more information.

Call to Action!

Remind your US Senators and Congressional Representative

to restore the 1965 voting rights act by supporting the

JOHN L. LEWIS VOTING RIGHTS ADVANCEMENT ACT

Growing Risk to Democracy Since Voting Rights Act of 1965 Gutted!

Since the Supreme Court decision in Shelby v Holder ten years ago, nearly 100 restrictive laws have been passed in the blue-colored states. Democracy depends on citizens voting – not politicians (of any party) making decisions on their own.
