VOTER SUPPRESSION
IS A HATE CRIME

DESIGNED TO STIFLE US

Voter suppression is alive and well, and it targets Black and Brown voters the most. Polling places in communities of color have closed at a disproportionate rate. And where there are polling locations, the lines to vote and the time waiting to vote is longer for Black and Brown voters. Intimidating and discriminatory voter ID and proof-of-citizenship restrictions target non-whites, not to mention campaigns of blatant misinformation.
