WHEN WE ALL VOTE

Hi John!

Welcome back to "The Good, The Bad, The Ugly," your go-to source for the latest voting news and what lies ahead. In today’s edition, we'll share recent developments in Kentucky, where voting eligibility for individuals with prior convictions was maintained, dive into Mississippi’s ballot shortage, and explore what’s happening in New Hampshire, where the state will implement restrictions on same-day registration.

So, buckle up and join us as we navigate the world of voting — where The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly all meet. 😉

THE GOOD:

In good news, Kentucky re-elected bipartisan lawmakers who have worked together to advance voting rights. Governor Andy Beshear, in 2019, issued an executive order that automatically restores voting rights for citizens with non-violent felony convictions. Furthermore, Secretary of State Michael Adams has consistently supported enhanced voter access in the state during his tenure, advocating for measures such as early voting and opposing excessive consolidation of polling places. Governor Beshear and Secretary Adams both secured re-election.

THE BAD:

In bad news, Hinds County, Mississippi — which has the largest Black population in the state — faced issues such as ballot shortages and long lines at various polling locations. Some voters reported being in line for more than two hours! Leading up to the election, Mississippi's voter-facing tool, intended to help locate polling places, contained missing or inaccurate address information for 92 precincts statewide. Notably, Mississippi is one of just three states nationwide where in-person voting on Election Day remains the sole choice for the majority of voters.

THE UGLY:

In ugly news, starting with the 2024 elections, New Hampshire will implement restrictions on same-day registration. Merrimack County Judge Charles Temple has ruled against a challenge to last year's S.B. 418. This legislation mandates the rejection of ballots from individuals who register to vote for the first time on Election Day but fail to provide acceptable photo identification. If unable to produce the required documentation for verification within seven days of the election, their ballots will be discarded.

The work never stops when it comes to democracy — and with your help, we can build a brighter and more inclusive future for all. As we gear up for 2024, your support is more important than ever.
