Why the National Voter Registration Act is vital for helping millions of low-income people register to vote through state public assistance agencies.

“Voting rights is the foundational issue in American politics and American society. Simply put, if we don’t all have an equal say, how can we expect to have an equal chance?”

“With these laws in particular, they are not race neutral. These laws are deeply rooted in an attempt to exclude Black people from our democracy.”

Breaking down what made the Voting Rights Act so powerful, how the Supreme Court gutted it, and what can be done to restore it.

The County’s plans will intimidate and deter eligible citizens from registering to vote, abridging their fundamental right to vote and resulting in serious underrepresentation in the electoral process.

A newly announced policy of the Rensselaer County Board of Elections violates the National Voter Registration Act

Re: Announced Policy's Violation of Sections 5 and 8 of the National Voter Registration Act

Lawsuit filed to block the Board of Elections of Rensselaer County, New York from illegally disclosing residents’ protected personal information to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) when they register to vote.

The County announced it would “immediately” begin sharing the identities of persons who register to vote through the DMV with the Immigration and Customs Service (“ICE”). This is in violation of Sections 5 and 8 of the NVRA.

”For far too long, Black voters in this country have been marginalized, misrepresented, and taken for granted in electoral politics."
