From restrictive voter ID laws to the purging of voter rolls to shrinking the early voting window to the inability of ex-felons to make their voices heard even after serving their time, there are countless ways US states make it difficult for millions of their citizens to vote. ? Much more often than not, these policies disproportionately affect minority groups, giving them the practical result of tilting the scales in favor of Republicans. ⚖️ Most of the people who defend these prohibitive voter laws claim they are to safeguard the electoral process against voter fraud, but despite those worries, embraced and pushed by Donald Trump himself, voter fraud is essentially nonexistent. ? A 2007 study by the Brennan Center “found incident rates [of voter fraud] between 0.0003 percent and 0.0025 percent,” and an investigation by the Washington Post identified just four cases of voter fraud in the 2016 election. ? Yet this hasn't stopped Republican politicians from using fraud as an excuse to push restrictive laws. ? Ahead of next week’s midterms, we wanted to highlight a few people who have been unable to vote in the past (and one who won’t be able to vote on Tuesday) in an effort to put a face on the problem of voter suppression. ? Our hope is that these stories, collected in a series called Why I Didn’t Vote, will help draw attention to the real-life impact America’s voting laws have on people who want to make their voices heard. ??
