I wrote about voting in Texas, a state that exemplifies the GOP strategy of winning by trying to disenfranchise Democratic leaning voters so that the electorate is whiter, older, and more conservative. https://t.co/dVQ1OTna8N pic.twitter.com/9OGe7cADs9

Voter suppression update – 11/4/18

Restrictions on voting have been virtually all imposed by Republicans, reflecting rising partisanship and the weakening of the Voting Rights Act by the Supreme Court in 2013. https://t.co/Vp9hBuubBZ

.@rickhasen on the disturbing and unfortunate Supreme Court precedent discouraging any emergency relief for even outrageous and obvious voter suppression if the evidence comes close to an election. Truly wrongheaded. https://t.co/BAi0hcvPF6

In other news, GOP voting restrictions could swing key races in states like GA, ND, FL, KS, WI & TX. My cover story in @nytopinion Sunday Review on how voter suppression is tainting the midterms https://t.co/1wdZA9aAA0

FWIW, I think voter suppression getting a lot more attention in 2018 than in 2016 (though still not enough). I'd urge people to listen to my recent @nprfreshair interview for more https://t.co/TK1MMO7INa https://t.co/arf2D8Ycr6

“How Voter Suppression Could Swing the Midterms”

Opinion column in the New York Times

Lots of state-by-state-details

This is the best one-article summary of the problem I have seen.

Tennessee voter suppression

BREAKING: Tennessee Court rules that voters in Shelby County must be permitted to fix voter registration issues at polling place & cast regular ballots. County must also provide updates on number of people with pending/deficient applications & must notify applicants immediately.

— Marc E. Elias (@marceelias) October 25, 2018

BREAKING: In Tennessee we have now filed suit against the Shelby County Election Commission for their actions that threaten to disenfranchise thousands of eligible voters. We want to ensure that voters who submitted registration forms can exercise their right to vote on 11/6. https://t.co/dZyyXl0glA

Voters have done their job: registering to vote and showing up to exercise their right to vote. Now Election Commissions need to do their job. #EarlyVotingTN https://t.co/oVODx9brQa

We were blindsided by this shadow voter suppression. Our 18 year old son is trying to hitch a ride home from college just to vote. How many will actually go through with that?? No absentee vote for first timers is utter madness. Welcome to Tennessee de”mock”racy. https://t.co/4WxW9Xp48u
