Thanks for posting about Election Protection and helping to raise awareness about voting rights. I want to keep you up-to-date with the various voter suppression efforts as they are happening through Election Day. If you would like to get these updates at a different email address, please let me know.
Already, we have seen voter suppression attempts well underway in Florida (No Match/No Vote), Michigan (Foreclosure black list), Wisconsin (GOP AG lawsuit to “review” voter list), Ohio (blocking one-day registration and voting window), Indiana (discriminatory ID requirement and blocking satellite voting site in Ball State), Virginia (threatening loss of financial aid to out-of-state student voters), Arizona (proof-of-citizenship requirement aimed at minorities), and elsewhere. We can expect the systematic voter suppression efforts to only increase as election day draws near.
Please continue to inform your readers about the 866-OUR-VOTE hotline as the one-stop resource for any registering or voting questions or problems. Protecting this election requires a broad force of citizen-vigilantes—now! Voting registration windows are quickly closing and early voting has already begun.
As always, you can get more information at 866OURVOTE.org.
Best,
Alan Boswell
