A voting rights campaign launched by Democrat Stacey Abrams is active in 18 battleground states — establishing voter hotlines and creating voter protection teams for the primaries in preparation for the general election.

"Every single vote counts," says Elaine Morgan Johnson, a poll worker from Macon.

"Most of us understand voter suppression as the 1960s images of billy clubs and hoses and dogs barking — aggressive interference," Abrams says."But in the 21st century, voter suppression looks like administrative errors. It looks like user error. It looks like mistakes. But it is just as intentional and just as insidious."

And courts have upheld the state's authority to purge the voter lists after Fair Fight sued, but other election-related lawsuits are pending.

AlexPadilla4CA I wouldn’t trust her for one second. She complained she was cheated out of her election even though she lost in overwhelming numbers. I suspect everything she touches becomes corrupted.

Fair.

She shouldn't take money from oligarchs to protect democracy

This is so critically important. Stacey Abrams is awesome. ❤️

As a independent vote, why haven’t I seen NPR feature any conservative women, issues or views? Why I stopped donating.

Way to go Stacey!

This says it all 'Knowing the people in the secretary of state's office, I just don't, I don't think that's true.'

I guess since she lost...it must be voter fraud. Was she working this hard against fraud when she was winning elections?

Are they gonna be checking for ID, dead votes, illegal votes as well?

Why ? This is not a Third World country o a democracy.

Oh stop, NPR. Your clear attempt to revive her political fortunes is SAD.

So is this to ensure all illegals can vote?

greentim She is a sellout. She took $5,500,000 of Bloomberg's cash...

Right on schedule libshits. Every 4 yrs we have to hear about this fictional voter suppression bullshit. Next up, the race card! After that last piss poor democrat debate, I see the Russian card is back in play. KAG2020LandslideVictory

Did she win yet?

So cleaning up voter lists to keep them current is suppression? Haha? Having to wait a bit is suppression? GTF outta here!

Voter suppression issues rank low among reasons nonvoters stay homeLack of excitement and knowledge about candidates score much higher than difficulty registering or getting to the polls in a sweeping new study Because most people hate most politicians and not having a three party system is asinine. Man its almost like our entire awful system is designed to produce candidates that no one would want to vote for!? Duh. Repeat after me: there is no voter suppression.
