COMBATING VOTER SUPPRESSION

Signs of a unified, happy marriage in the Glenn Precinct, Phoenix, AZ

Without going into the details about “why,” there are 2, nearly-identical voter registration forms in use.  One, preferred by the state government, requires a photo ID. The other, preferred by the Federal Government, does not.

Recently we held a voter-registration drive at ASU, using the Federal form.  And late Friday we learned that many of those who registered were rejected by the County Elections Office. So a bunch of us started calling those new registrants to see if they have received their Voter ID cards.   And now we’ve been joined in that effort by  AZAdvocacy.
