Friend,
Last month, the Supreme Court declined to block a Florida law requiring people with felony convictions to pay fines before they can vote -- a modern-day poll tax. But Justice Sonia Sotomayor issued a powerful dissent:
"This Court's order prevents thousands of otherwise eligible voters from participating in Florida's primary election simply because they are poor..."
"[It's a] voter paywall."

She's right: According to CNBC, the Supreme Court's order could block 750,000 people from voting -- an enormous number in a critical swing state. It's an abomination that, as Sotomayor wrote, "continues a trend of condoning disfranchisement."
But while conservatives like those on the Supreme Court are working to narrow the voting pool, we're fighting back. The NDRC is working with our affiliates to increase voting access, block GOP attempts to suppress the vote, and pressure Republicans like Mitch McConnell to fully fund our elections.
None of this essential work can happen without you, friend. Will you support us with a gift today?
