The story of American democracy has been the expansion of voting rights to more and more citizens. Yet now, conservatives linked to the Republican Party are systematically seeking to constrict the vote.

.

We cant let them get away with this.

.

In the early republic, voting was often reserved for white male landowners. Over time, the vote was extended to working people, to women, to those 18 and older. The passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act was one of the transformative victories of the civil rights movement. Progressive movements have pushed reforms to make voting easier same-day voter registration, extended voting days and hours, voting by mail.

.

Now, however, across the country, we see a systematic effort to suppress the vote.

.

.

Voter Suppression Tactics Discussed in This Article Include:

.

Voter ID laws

Voter purges

Intimidating voter-registration groups

Eliminating same-day registration; curtailing early voting

Targeted tricks: Negative ads disgust and discourage voters. Now, with unaccountable SuperPACs that dont have to identify their donors, it will get uglier. Well witness phone calls designed to confuse African Americans about when Election Day occurs or direct mail warning Hispanics that failure to carry proof of citizenship will lead to arrest.
