Have you been following the state of voting rights in America? Test your knowledge with the League’s brief quiz about the latest voter suppression tactics sweeping state legislatures.
Despite unprecedented voter suppression attempts, voter turnout reached an all-time high in 2020—a remarkable feat during a global pandemic.
Unfortunately, many state legislatures are trying to codify these anti-voter abuses in their 2021 sessions, including criminalizing volunteer activities and undermining local election officials. Since November, we have seen hundreds of restrictive voting bills introduced in many states. These bills seek to limit the voices of voters, particularly Black and brown voters, who voted in record numbers last year.
Now is the time to expand voter access, not restrict it. The League is advocating for passage of several laws that will protect voters and help build a fairer and more inclusive democracy.
