Pam Gaskin, a member of the League of Women Voters of Houston, has been voting by mail for years without incident. This year, she almost missed the deadline — because her application for a mail-in ballot was rejected twice.
In Texas, at least 18,000 ballots were rejected in the March primary election thanks to a new restrictive voting law.
Pam says: “They’re making voting hard. Period.”
This is just one state’s experience. Since the beginning of 2021, 18 states have passed 34 restrictive voting laws — and now that primaries are wrapping up, we’re able to see their full, staggering effect. To keep fighting back against these measures, we need your help.
