John,
There’s no doubt that the youngest voters played a big role in the outcome of the 2018 and 2020 elections and can greatly impact elections in 2022 and beyond.
That’s why for years Republican extremists have worked overtime to pass restrictive voter suppression laws designed to discriminate against college students and give Republicans an outsized advantage.
From making registering to vote difficult for college students that live away from home, to closing polling places near universities, there are numerous restrictions designed to undo all of the progress we have made in building a more inclusive, representative democracy.
We must ensure that voters of all ages have the same access to the ballot box.
We’re calling on Secretaries of State across the country to end voter suppression among college students by:
- Ensuring there are polling places on or near campuses
- Allowing students to vote using their college ID
- Automatically sending mail-in ballots to students registered to vote in-state
Sign on and demand Secretaries of State make voting easier for college students! >>
Republican lawmakers are doing everything they can to make sure that they maximize Republican voting power by suppressing the turnout of voters most likely to keep them from gaining power.
Our work to fight voter suppression across the country is more important than ever.
Progressives need to step up to defend and expand democracy -- even as right-wing extremists seek to taint our electoral process. That’s why we’re asking you to help fight back against attacks on voting rights.
Sign on and demand Secretaries of State make voting easier for college students! >>
Thank you for everything you’re doing to deliver on the promise of change.
