Democrats unveil tool to fight voter purges
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) on Tuesday unveiled a new tool meant to help local campaigns fight voter roll purges, a phenomenon the party has blamed for statewide election losses in recent years.
A press release from the DNC noted that the tool, which will be available for Democratic candidates and their staff, "makes it easier for organizing teams to quickly contact a universe of purged or inactive voters and take the steps necessary to re-register them or help them protect their voting status."
The fight against voter suppression has never been more urgent, said the head of the DNC's voter protection project, Reyna Walters-Morgan.
Whether an individual is facing the prospect of being purged for malicious or mundane reasons, this tool helps leverage Democrats organizing and voter protection resources to safeguard the right of every eligible voter to protect their voting status and easily participate in our democratic process," Walters-Morgan added.
