Great news, John: Our work helped put North Carolina on the path to victory for voting rights!
|
THIS PAST AUGUST: The North Carolina General Assembly passed Senate Bill 747, an unconstitutional voter suppression bill that would toss out ballots from some voters who register on Election Day and would not notify voters of the rejection.
|
|
THIS PAST OCTOBER: Voto Latino filed a lawsuit for immediate relief to stop S.B. 747 from taking effect.
|
|
TODAY: A judge granted a preliminary injunction against S.B. 747.
|
The temporary injunction is a positive first step to helping stop the voter suppression of historically disenfranchised groups, including Latino North Carolinians, who are more likely to have mail returned as undeliverable due to housing insecurity or living in multi-generational households.
Same-day voter registration is an important tool to ensure that voting is accessible to all and it must continue to be protected. Our team at Voto Latino will continue fighting to preserve this and other voting rights wherever they come under threat in our country. A robust, healthy democracy demands access to the voting booth for all.
Voto Latino is committed to combating attacks on voting rights. But the best way to counteract voter suppression is to make our voices heard in an unmistakable way by registering and mobilizing more young Latinos than ever before.
We're working across the country to do just that. Will you pitch in now to power our voter outreach efforts?
