Race, Voter Suppression, and Institutions’ Impact on Voters and Outcomes
Wed, September 29, 10:00 to 11:30am PDT (10:00 to 11:30am PDT), TBASession Submission Type: Virtual Created Panel
Session Description
Voter suppression has become a fixture of any discussion of contemporary American elections and voting rights, especially after the 2020 election. The Brennan Center reports as of February 2021, state lawmakers have “carried over, preflied, or introduced 253 bills with provisions that restrict voting access in 43 states.” This panel examines how rejecting mail ballots, changing polling places, and gerrymandering influence minority representation in elections and voter turnout.
