As Democrats, our task is simple—we want everybody to vote. Which is why tomorrow’s efforts are so critical, with the November election a mere six weeks away.
Republicans know that they can’t win elections fair and square, as the country gets more liberal every year.
That’s why they are working overtime to suppress the vote, hoping that this November will be their last gasp of power. And we must fight back just as hard.
In Wisconsin, a judge just upheld the strict voter ID law—right when Gov. Scott Walker is in the political fight of his life.
In Georgia, which has enough unregistered African-American voters to turn the state blue, the Republican Secretary of State is trying to sit on 51,000 unprocessed voter registration forms.
In North Carolina, whose U.S. Senate race this year will determine which party controls that chamber, the Republican legislature passed a law that penalizes parents on their tax returns if their college-aged children vote in a precinct close to campus.
National Voter Registration Day is a nonpartisan event, because wanting everybody to vote should be a nonpartisan, good-government role.
But Republicans, desperate to hold power by any means necessary, are using every partisan trick in the book to stop people from voting.
