THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE UGLY: A roundup of recent voting news

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 cover North Carolina’s new rules for same-day voter registration, dive into a voter ID bill moving in Kentucky, and learn about an effort in Arizona to grant the legislature exclusive authority to appoint presidential electors.

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, to comply with a recent court order, North Carolina election officials updated the state's rules for same-day voter registration, making it harder to remove same-day registrants from the voter rolls. North Carolina’s controversial voter suppression law that passed in October of 2023 included a provision allowing the removal of same-day registrants if a single piece of mail was undeliverable.

THE BAD:

In bad news, the Kentucky Senate passed a bill [[link removed]] removing student IDs from the list of acceptable primary documents to verify a voter’s identity. The move to restrict student IDs as a valid voting identification is a growing trend in the 2024 election cycle to make it harder for young people to vote, with similar laws emerging in Idaho and Ohio. Kentucky’s Secretary of State criticized the bill, fearing it may alienate young voters and jeopardize the legality of the state's existing voter ID law that was enacted in 2020.

THE UGLY:

In ugly news, a State Senator in Arizona introduced a resolution [[link removed]] to grant the Arizona Legislature exclusive authority to appoint presidential electors, regardless of the outcome of the popular vote, which undermines the democratic process. Currently, the candidate who secures the popular vote in Arizona gets the state's electors, who then cast their votes alongside others across the country in December.

If passed by the Legislature, the resolution would be subject to voter approval for inclusion in the State Constitution.

John, communities across the country are experiencing familiar and targeted attacks on their voting rights. We must hold our elected officials accountable on the issues that matter most — and one way we can do that is by spreading the message far and wide that Our Vote is Our Power. Will you donate today to support our efforts to register more voters ahead of the 2024 presidential election? >>> [[link removed]]
