The future of voting rights in the U.S. is on this fall’s ballot with the two major party candidates for president offering two starkly different paths.
Vice President Harris, the Democratic nominee, is calling for strengthening legal protections against racial discrimination in the election process and making it easier for eligible voters to cast ballots.
Former President Donald Trump, on the other hand, is pushing for more restrictions to voting access that would likely disproportionately affect voters of color. The Republican nominee — who has refused to commit to accepting this year’s election results without conditions, while facing four felony counts connected to efforts to overturn the 2020 results and disenfranchise millions of voters — has also been fueling concerns about the rare and illegal practice of non-U.S. citizens voting in federal elections.
