Speak out to stop Trump’s allies from suppressing voters

Trump’s allies are trying to pressure the Election Assistance Commission (EAC), an independent government board, into suppressing voters by requiring every American to present documents as proof of citizenship just to register to vote.

That may sound simple — but in practice, it would create massive barriers for eligible voters, especially students, older voters, people in rural areas, and communities of color who can’t access these documents as easily.

The EAC is accepting public comments on this voter suppression petition right now. 

Far-right opponents of voting rights are flooding the comment system to support the petition, so we need to make sure our voices are just as loud.

Since right-wing organizations are driving many comments to support voter suppression, it’s important that you leave a unique comment in your own words on the following page:

Here are some points you can use in your comment explaining why you OPPOSE this petition:

  • Millions of American citizens could be blocked from voting under this policy nationwide.
    • More than 21 million American citizens don’t have documents like a passport or birth certificate readily available. Only about half of American adults have a passport.
  • Some Americans are far more likely to be blocked from voting than others.
    • Married women and other voters who change their names, voters of color, and younger voters are especially likely to be disenfranchised. 
  • We’ve seen this failed policy restrict the freedom to vote before.
    • When Kansas tried to implement its own proof-of-citizenship requirement for voting, it blocked tens of thousands of eligible Americans from registering to vote. Kansas’ Republican secretary of state pointed out that the effort “didn’t work out so well.”
  • There are checks in place to ensure that only eligible U.S. citizens vote.
    • Exceptions are vanishingly rare. When states investigate — like Louisiana did recently — they’ve repeatedly confirmed that fact.
