What's at Stake

Voting rights are under attack nationwide as state legislatures pass voter suppression laws under the pretext of preventing voter fraud and safeguarding election integrity. These voter suppression laws take many forms and include cutting back on early voting, voter ID laws, and making it harder for people to vote when they go to the wrong precinct. Collectively, such measures lead to significant burdens for eligible voters trying to exercise their most fundamental constitutional right.
