Obama's Voter Protection Program

The Obama re-election campaign has quietly opened a counteroffensive against Republican backed changes to election laws that will suppress voters and limit get-out-the-vote efforts.

The effort led by former White House counsel Robert Bauer, prompted the suspension of an Ohio law limiting early voting and is fighting the Wisconsin law that disallows student photo id cards for voting identification. The campaign will mount the Voter Protection program with thousands of volunteers in battleground states to help navigate new election laws and find ways to fight them.

More then 30 states have changed voter laws since 2008, including limiting early voting and 7 that added requirements that voters show photo identification.
