The Republican Party is actively trying to deprive hundreds of thousands of Americans of their right to vote by illegally purging them from voter rolls, according to a reports by New York University’s Brennan Center for Justice and the Public Interest Group USPIRG (their reports are available here and here, respectively).
This disenfranchisement campaign, which is being undertaken by at least 19 State Governments, is in direct violation of Federal Laws that prohibit the purging of voter rolls within 90 Days of a Federal Election. Specific disenfranchisement tactics have also included erroneously listing voters as former convicts, mass flat-out purging, and in the case of Florida, mismailing letters to (black) voters and then using the “failure to deliver these letters” excuse to wipe them from voter rolls.
But all is not lost. Steal Back Your Vote is an organization dedicated to helping you guarantee your right to vote. They also have provided a comic book voters’ guide, which is available by clicking on the picture below
