Democrats across the country have made defending and expanding voting rights a priority because we understand, as President Biden said, that “the fundamental right to vote is the right from which all other rights flow.”
Meanwhile, Republican state legislatures, including here in North Carolina, have passed measures specifically designed to make it harder for some folks to cast a ballot.
Their goal is simple: to remain in power no matter the cost, by any means necessary. And they’ve found that partisan gerrymandering and anti-voter legislation is a winning strategy.
