Just days after a federal judge blocked the Trump administration's plan to use Social Security data to help states search voter rolls, four Republican-led states are already back in court demanding access again.
Florida. Ohio. Indiana. Iowa.
They want to restore access to a citizenship database that was used to check more than 67 million registered voters. The problem is that the system flagged thousands of eligible American citizens as potential noncitizens, putting lawful voters at risk of being wrongly targeted before investigations cleared many of them.
The judge who blocked the program wrote that the federal government had "trampled on the privacy rights of American citizens in a manner that threatens the sacred right to vote."
That should have been the end of it, but Republicans are fighting to bring it back.
This is why our work matters so much.
At Get Out The Vote PAC, we don't decide court cases. We don't control what state officials do.
What we can do is make sure the people most likely to get caught in this chaos actually hear from us, know their rights, have accurate information about voting, and turn out anyway.
We reach young voters.
We reach voters with disabilities.
We reach communities of color.
We reach infrequent voters who campaigns often overlook but who deserve to have their voices heard just the same.
Every conversation we have and every voter we mobilize makes it harder for confusion, intimidation, or bureaucratic mistakes to silence someone's vote.
If you can, will you make a contribution today to help us keep reaching the voters who need us most before November?
