| Voter Suppression and Expansion:A Tale of Two Americas Presented by Viviane Harte League of Women Voters of Greater Tucson Saturday, October 12, 2024, 3 pm Room 203, Continental Shopping Plaza, Green Valley |
| “In this compelling talk, we’ll dive into the heart of the ongoing battle over voting rights in the United States. Some states are enacting laws that tighten voter access—often citing security concerns—while others are implementing reforms aimed at expanding voter participation. We’ll explore the methods used to suppress the vote, from restrictive ID laws to limits on mail-in voting and early voting hours. At the same time, we’ll identify the states embracing voter expansion with policies like automatic voter registration, extended early voting periods, and vote-by-mail options. |  |
| This presentation will not only uncover the strategies behind voter suppression and expansion but also examine the broader impact on democracy. Who benefits? Who is left out? A past President of the League of Women Voters of Greater Tucson, Vivian Harte is currently their Program Chair, Speakers Bureau Chair, and the editor of their newsletter. She is also the Chair of the Communications Committee of the League of Women Voters of Arizona. ***The collection wagon will be available for your contributions of items for the Community Food Bank of Green Valley.***Sponsored by Green Valley Democrats“ |
