Burgold Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 There was a discussion a while back on whether or not states have been trying to suppress voting rights. I came across this review published by NYU's Brennan Center and thought it might make for an interesting discussion on what's happening now in terms of present legislation and which states are impacted. Overall, there is both good news and bad news on the voting front in 2017. https://www.brennancenter.org/analysis/voting-laws-roundup-2017 Overview of Legislation to Restrict Voting Access Overall, at least 99 bills to restrict access to registration and voting have been introduced in 31 states. Thirty-Five such bills saw significant legislative action (meaning they have at least been approved at the committee level or beyond) in 17 states.
