The Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law just published a report by Wendy R. Weiser and Erik Opsal on the State of Voting in 2014 in the United States.
As we approach the 2014 election, America is still in the midst of a high-pitched and often highly partisan battle over voting rights. On one side are politicians passing laws and executive actions that would make it harder for many citizens to vote. This started after the 2010 midterm elections, when new state legislative majorities pushed a wave of laws cracking down on voting. On the other side are groups of voters and advocates pushing back — in the legislatures, at the ballot box, and especially in the courts.
In all, voters in 15 states are facing an array of stricter voting rules in a major election for the first time this year.
The laws in six of those states are being challenged in court.
