Voter suppression at work: FL voters passed #Amendment4 last year, restoring voting rights to ~1 million people.

Then the state GOP forced through a poll tax with no plan to implement it, and people like Clifford Tyson *can't get an answer* about whether they can legally vote.

[Ari Berman @AriBerman]

Floridians who paid debt to society decades ago & had rights restored in November 2018 now afraid to vote because of FL GOP's modern day poll tax

This kind of voter suppression could swing 2020 election

Last year, the Tennessee Black Voter Project registered tens of thousands of new voters. So the state GOP is trying to crack down on registration drives, citing lack of resources.

This judge isn’t having it.

We love voting in person, too — but no-excuse absentee voting would mean more voters, and that's always a good thing. There's no excuse for this veto. #nhleg https://t.co/NV9nkH18Js

Tennessee ranks 44th in voter registrations.

The state GOP just passed a law effectively criminalizing registration drives.

Tennessee needs #AVR. https://t.co/8RHS1US9LT

Offices like Secretary of State have huge power over our elections — and they're usually directly elected themselves. We need to pay closer attention to those races.

[Stop Republicans @StopGOP_]

Our civics textbooks must have been outdated.

We learned Secretaries of State were in charge of overseeing fair elections. According to the GOP, their job is actually to … baselessly investigate political opponents & voting rights orgs. #StopRepublicans https://t.co/7PfVlWKyp5

Voters don’t like the @TexasGOP’s ideas, so the Texas GOP wants fewer voters. #txlege https://t.co/N6OVkQa34r

Activists in Ohio will text 103,000 people today to urge them to check their voter registration. The state is scheduled to cancel 235,000 voter registrations on Friday, Sept. 6.

Activists have already found errors in the list of voters scheduled for cancellation

This is *not* what equal access to the ballot looks like. #VoterID laws need to go. https://t.co/ldUjrUM3CN
