Voter registration should be automatic - no ID's required.

A brief-ish history of how advanced registration and ID laws have been used to target women, immigrants, the poor, and minorities.

Dear Readers:

Democracy doesn’t usually collapse in one dramatic moment.
It erodes quietly, through paperwork, deadlines, and “reasonable” barriers that only apply to some people.

The SAVE Act is being marketed as election integrity.
But history shows these systems were built to manage who gets to participate.

I spent days digging into the history, the data, and the propaganda behind modern voter suppression efforts, and laid it all out clearly in my latest piece.
