Why we are post-carding Virginia?
They had recently become a stronghold of voting rights until the election of the new statewide ticket (Governor, Lt. Governor and Attorney General) and loss of 15 seats in the House of Delegates. Increasing BIPOC voter participation will help safeguard those rights by electing more responsive, representative leadership.
Up next will be the Georgia general election.
Those packets will be distributed after we finish with Virginia. In Georgia, voting early in person is crucial. SB 202 now restricts or bans the safest and most achievable voting practices, even criminalizes bringing food or drink to weary votes in prohibitively long Election Day lines. It undermines the Secretary of State, giving the State Election Board more power to overrule and racially target local jurisdictions.
