Friends, voter suppression doesn't always look the way you might expect. Here's what I mean:
Of course, voter suppression can take the form of literacy tests or poll taxes. It can look like extreme voter identification laws, like the SAVE Act. It can be law enforcement showing up to polling stations to scare voters, a threat we’ve seen made lately.
But it can also look like what’s happening right now in North Carolina, where I live. Here, a new state Board of Elections rule will make it easier for ballots to be thrown out along party lines. In the Tar Heel State, we’ve also seen suppression unfold when local election boards close early voting sites at college campuses and popular urban locations.
Whether it’s here in North Carolina or across the country, Redistricting Action is watching out for every form of voter suppression and mobilizing an unprecedented response. This work is critically important, and together, we’ll ensure it succeeds.
Thank you,
Ted Corcoran
