Democrats launch project to combat voter suppression laws

[mfcorey1]

Democrats have taken notice. The DSCC is first out of the block with an online plan called the 2012 Election Protection Project, designed to "raise awareness and fight back against partisan attacks on voting rights." The above tweet is an example of the campaign.

More than 5 million voters could be affected in states including Ohio, Florida, Wisconsin, Nevada, Virginia and California—more votes than decided the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections. No surprise, the legislation heavily targets young, poor and African American voters—who disproportionately support Democrats.

We need 150,000 people to join our 2012 Election Protection Project and stand against these undemocratic tactics. Republicans need to know that we’re onto them, we’re fighting back, and we WILL NOT allow them to manipulate their way to victory in the 2012 elections.

Time!

Better get used to spending a lot of time in Florida; our GOP has corruption and tricks that make old New Orleans and Chicago look like Switzerland.

This should have been a top priority at least as far back as 2000-2001 IMHO
