Today’s Action: Report and stop GOP voter suppression
Early voting has begun in many states – which means GOP voter suppression is well underway.
- In Georgia, almost 5,000 ballots have gone missing in a 54% Black county
- In Texas, GOP leadership has closed polling locations near universities
- In North Dakota, new laws are leaving thousands on Native American reservations without the ability to register to vote
Help ensure every single voter who has the right to vote is actually allowed that choice. Report any issues you encounter, and spread the word on the resources available to fight these nasty and crippling Republican tactics.
And make sure your friends and family also know what to do in case of voting irregularities. Save these numbers: 866-OUR-VOTE and 888-VE-Y-VOTA.
The GOP stays in power by blocking the voters they don’t want to speak out against them: people of color, the poor and working class, young people, and the elderly. Disenfranchised communities thus cyclically remain disenfranchised, unable to vote out their oppressors.
Whether you are targeted by this oppression or are an ally to these communities, be on the lookout the next seven days for Republican tactics of silencing and erasure. Get out the vote…and then make sure the vote is actually counted.
And after we win the seats for Democrats, we’ll spend 2019 working on changing the laws to eliminate GOP suppression once and for all.
