On January 6th, we all watched as right-wing extremists, spurred on by one of the most divisive presidents in the history of the United States, attempted to reverse the results of the 2020 presidential election by attacking the U.S. Capitol, and attempting to thwart the certification of the Electoral College vote. Fortunately, they failed then. But many of these groups and other dangerous threats to our democracy persist. Donald Trump’s refusal to concede the election, coupled with the misinformation and lies he continued to spread about voter fraud, have not only fueled the deadly insurrection but breathed new life into legislation aimed at even greater and more sever voter restrictions designed to prevent the kind of unprecedented voter turnout that ousted Trump. These voter suppression efforts are the latest in a years-long attack on our core democratic rights and principles, and they show no sign up letting up.
