Event Details
Voter suppression is a strategy used to influence the outcome of an election by discouraging or preventing specific groups of people from voting. It was a critical issue in the 2022 mid-term elections and will certainly be one in 2024. Americans cherish the right to vote as a cornerstone of our democracy and constitutional republic. How did voter suppression come about? What can we as citizens do to diminish it?
