“Grassroots vibe" for the Republican Party means a coordinated attack on voting rights. We noticed and we're taking action to support voters and defeat these politicians at the ballot box.

Must-watch video: Heritage admits it is writing voter suppression laws for GOP state legislators “we actually draft them for them, or we give them the model legislation so it has that grassroots, from-the-bottom-up type of vibe”

This isn't a policy disagreement. Cutting drop box access, making voters apply over and over again for a mail ballot, and fundamentally changing state board of elections is a blatant attack on civil rights.

With 4.8 million Floridians voting by mail in 2020, Republicans have responded by: Purging the state's vote by mail list Drastically cutting drop box availability Criminalizing aspects of ballot return which harms homebound voters #SB90

Even in a Republican-majority state like Alabama, voting rights still have a voice! Democrats are thwarting Republican attempts to suppress the vote and protecting voters from their antics limiting access to voting from home.

Republicans met at 1 am on Tuesday, adding voter ID to this already egregious legislation attacking vote by mail. #SB90 just passed in the Florida House and is one step closer to becoming law. Let's be clear, this is nothing less than an erosion of civil rights.

Just in: The Florida House has passed SB90, an omnibus voting bill that limits drop boxes, adds new ID requirements, prohibits outside funding for local election administration, restrict who can collect and drop off absentee ballots, among other changes.

🚨GOP will severely restrict access to vote by mail if this bill is signed into law 🚨

Florida House PASSES elections bill. It limits access to ballot drop boxes, bans mobile drop off boxes (ie ballot vans in Palm Beach County), adds new voter ID requirements, and outlines who can and can’t drop off a vote by mail ballot on your behalf. There’s a lot more in it.

Texas Republicans want to charge local election officials with a felony for sending absentee ballot applications to voters. I don't know how putting hard working election officials in prison makes our voting more secure (hint: it doesn't).

Blatant racism. That's what we're seeing across the country as Republicans try to suppress the voices of Black, brown and Indigenous voters at the ballot box. Glad I got the chance to talk w/ Amy Goodman about how is holding politicians accountable.

We've seen 361 bills introduced this year to suppress Black, brown and Indigenous voters. @KateBrownForOR is dedicated to pushing back against racist laws that threaten access to the ballot box.

As of today, 306 bills have been introduced in state legislators and 53 of them have passed at least one legislative process. It's time we organize like never before to protect voting rights in communities across the country.

Georgia Republicans’ assault on our democracy will not stand. While Republicans spread lies about our elections and try to strip Americans of their rights, Democratic governors will continue to fight to protect voting rights and voting access

We can’t sit on the sidelines as Republicans chip away at our democracy. I’ve joined to protect & expand vote by mail across the country and I need you on our team. Volunteer so we can make sure swing states can continue to vote from home.
