Join me now for this week's @USProgressives Special Order Hour. I'll be talking about #votingrights protection: http://goo.gl/HO8jml 

In 2012 I watched, horrified, as voters were forced to stand in outrageous lines at their polling places.

States across the country have set up new barriers to voting. #votingrights

Instead of embracing every opportunity to improve and facilitate one of the cornerstones of our democracy, we’re allowing it to crumble.

.@HouseGOP, there’s quite a bit to fix when it comes to #votingrights, yet Congress isn’t willing to do anything about it.

States have different voting systems: early voting is allowed in some places but not others (1/2)

Same day registration offered in one state but not the next. (2/2) #votingrights
