1/ Voting rights is one of my top campaign issues. As a Voter Registrar for many years in a state with restrictive voter ID laws, I am very passionate about this issue.https://twitter.com/ariberman/status/952954914778558464 …

2/ Laws that create barriers to voter participation are popping up all over the country. The pace accelerated when SCOTUS decided to reverse many provisions of the Voting Rights Act.

3/ Time and time again, these restrictive laws have been shown to be racially biased and aimed at restricting groups that traditionally vote Democratic. That’s the whole point.

4/ In-person voter fraud is exceedingly rare, and does not justify these restrictions. Why? Because tens of thousands of people are prohibited from voting, on the off chance that one case of voter fraud will be prevented.

5/ Many courts have struck down some of the most egregious voter restrictions. But make no mistake: they will keep trying until they figure out how to be the most restrictive while still getting through the court system. Remember: they don’t want you to vote.
