Suppressed 2020: The Fight to Vote
We are witnessing #VoterSuppression tactics disenfranchise voters. These attacks on voting rights have evolved during the COVID-19 pandemic. Whether it’s discrediting Vote By Mail, Poll Closures, Voter Purges, or Delayed Registrations, the end goal of #VoterSuppression is to silence your right to vote.
