3.2.4: Voting Rights
Other Information:
We believe the right to vote and to have your vote counted is an essential American freedom, and we oppose laws that place
unnecessary restrictions on those seeking to exercise that freedom. Democrats have a proud history of standing up for the
right to vote. During the Obama administration, the Justice Department has initiated careful, thorough, and independent reviews
of proposed voting changes, and it has prevented states from implementing voter identification laws that would be harmful
to minority voters. Democrats know that voter identification laws can disproportionately burden young voters, people of color,
low-income families, people with disabilities, and the elderly, and we refuse to allow the use of political pretexts to disenfranchise
American citizens.
