Voter ID laws are the most potent form of voter suppression legislation.
We're looking at all forms of election irregularities, voter fraud, voter registration fraud, voter intimidation, suppression, and looking at the vulnerabilities of the various elections we have in each of the 50 states.
Sadly, voter suppression is not a thing of the past.

Republicans win when people are demoralized and you have a small voter turnout, which by the way is why they love voter suppression.

Every time voter fraud occurs, it cancels out the vote of a lawful citizen and undermines democracy - can't let that happen. Any form of illegal or fraudulent voting, whether by non-citizens or the deceased, and any form of voter suppression or intimidation must be stopped.
Let's be clear: Voter suppression is real.
The Republican playbook is voter suppression.
Voter suppression takes different forms.

Let America Vote will make the case for voting rights by exposing the real motivations of those who favor voter suppression laws.
To me, it's a different kind of voter suppression to constantly try to make people feel like the election is over before it's even begun.
