Key Takeaways

  • <ul><li><strong>Seventeen million voter purges between 2016-2018 prove registration requires constant vigilance rather than one-time effort</strong>: Aggressive purging campaigns remove eligible voters without notification
  • forcing repeated registration to maintain voting rights. Republican secretaries of state systematically target Democratic-leaning communities through address matching and inactivity purges that suppress legitimate voter participation.</li><li><strong>Voter ID requirements create 21 million citizen disenfranchisement when states deliberately make identification difficult to obtain</strong>: States requiring photo ID simultaneously close DMV offices in minority communities
  • creating impossible bureaucratic barriers. Wisconsin closed DMV locations in Democratic counties while keeping Republican area offices open
  • demonstrating how ID laws enable targeted voter suppression.</li><li><strong>Provisional ballot rejection rates expose systematic disenfranchisement when only 76% count toward final election results</strong>: Over 200
  • 000 provisional ballots get discarded annually through bureaucratic technicalities that eliminate valid votes from eligible citizens. These rejections disproportionately affect minority and young voters who face additional scrutiny compared to white suburban voters using regular ballots.</li><li><strong>State-by-state voting rule variations create unequal democratic participation when residency determines access rights</strong>: Early voting ranges from 4 to 50 days depending on state residence
  • making constitutional voting rights contingent on geography rather than citizenship. Federal elections require federal standards to prevent state-level discrimination that creates first and second-class voters based on zip code.</li></ul>
