Neither Abridged Nor Denied: Addressing the Ongoing Threat of Voter Suppression
1.0 substantive credits
One driver of decreased confidence in our political system has been the explosion of voter suppression tactics deliberately aimed at disrupting the democratic process. This discussion will explore historic and current policies used to undermine voting rights, including misinformation, voter intimidation, overly complex voting procedures, voting bans, gerrymandering, and more. By examining the legal and extra-legal barriers that inhibit voting as well as the legal strategies that organizations are utilizing to combat voter disenfranchisement, we can begin to advocate for more equitable access and fair representation for all people.
