John - Voter registration among 18-24 year-olds increased in several states last November over 2018 levels.
AND, there was a significant shift towards Democrats among young voters last November, blunting a so-called “red-wave” for Republicans.
But that has the GOP worried.
As we speak, GOP-controlled legislatures are pushing for limitations on youth voting rights:
-
In Idaho, a new law enacted this year will prohibit the use of student IDs to register to vote or cast ballots.
-
In Texas, a new proposal would eliminate all campus polling places in the state.
-
And in Ohio, a new law in effect for the first time in this week’s primary requires voters to present government-authorized photo ID at the polls.
Instead of working on a strategy to win over young voters, Republicans are trying to make it HARDER for them to vote.
Luckily, our Democratic Secretaries of State are trying to protect and expand access to the ballot box. But they need your support!
Please, John: Can we count on you to make a donation of any amount so we can continue our fight to defend voting rights and elect Democratic Secretaries of State? CHIP IN NOW >>
