@TXCivilRights and@MOVE_Texas argue that officials' decision to limit early voting at college campus sites specifically targets students.https://www.texastribune.org/2018/10/25/student-voting-rights-fight-erupts-texas-state-university/ …Show this thread -
Republican lawmakers justify such laws because they protect against "voter fraud." But "voter fraud" has been proven in study after study to be a virtually non-existent problem, with incidence rates between 0.0003 percent and 0.0025 percent.https://www.brennancenter.org/analysis/resources-voter-fraud-claims …

What can we do to protect our right to vote? First, know that it's still likely that you'll be able to vote quickly and easily. Problems in some areas doesn't mean there are problems everywhere.

Check out our work helping to expose Kemp's dubious practices as Georgia SecState. These acts by GOP Secretaries of State have consequences. Brian Kemp and 53K votes may not seem like a lot...But the electoral college was decided by 79K votes in 3 states.http://www.bros4america.com/greg-palast

@BrianKempGA It’s an outright shame that the GOP allows the illegal hold on voter registrations just bc of “exact match” in name spelling. Right Bryan? You’re running a dirty campaign. You should be banned from running for office bc of conflict of interest and suppressing votes. - 1 more reply
